Heading south


We said good-bye to Helmut and Ruth about 9:30 and headed down the coast 2 ish hours to Susan and Murray’s place at Shawnigan Lake

We had a great visit with Susan, Murray and brief hello with Isaac. 

We sat out on their deck and enjoyed a nice lunch before we said our good-byes and headed down to the Malahat Skywalk. Traffic was pretty crazy however we made it there without too much extra driving. 



The skywalk was pricey but enjoyable. We walked all the way to the top of the lookout tower, enjoyed the blue sky , clear day views and then walked back to the parking lot on a nature walk through the trees. It was a nice pit stop. 

The drive into Victoria was just crazy on the Malahat highway which desperately needs expanding. We had pre-booked our hotel up near Sidney for easy access tomorrow to Butchart Gardens and then the ferry. 

The hotel (Quality Inn) had a list of recommended restaurants and as we wanted seafood we chose a place on the Sidney waterfront. 

We each had seafood, enjoying the ambience on the seafront and a later walk on the Malecon.
