Victoria Trip

We are home after our trip to Victoria last week.  This week we are slowly resting up and recuperating from colds we had while there.  We didn't do as much touring around  and picture taking as other trips there in 2006 and 2010, partly due to our colds and also because the weather was quite cool and rainy.   We took Elaine's parents, who had never been on the island before, and had rented a van that Chris drove to take them with us on some sight seeing around the area.   The main pleasure of the trip was seeing how much they enjoyed it.  They never would have ventured on a trip like this on their own at their age.

On Friday we went for lunch at the Oak Bay Marina.  This combined picture shows us at the table with the view from the window on the right. 

Touring at Fisherman's Wharf.  Friday was the nicest day for touring with some blue sky showing through. 

We had good flights home on Saturday and arrive safely but quite tired from our colds.    Elaine's parents left from here yesterday to go back to the farm by bus.   We enjoyed the trip but it was still good to get home again.
