Victoria, BC

Our day started early at McDonald Provincial Park. We got there last evening after a long, hot and hilly riding day. We also took two ferries.

After breakfast we headed into Sidney. We asked another biker for directions. He took us to his son's bike shop. We found out where the laundermat and good coffee was. We now have clean clothes!

The bike path to Victoria is a mix of paved dedicated paths, gravel (but ridable) trails, residential streets and some elevated wooden paths. It was a joy to ride. Mostly clearly marked; we only asked for directions a couple of times and only took the wrong turns once or twice (a new record).

We checked in early and both took long showers (no facilities last night). We then had a light late lunch. Walked around some and then High Tea. Mmm,mmm good.

Now in our room we are relaxing until dinner. We only rode 20 miles today, but we are eating like we rode a century.

Tomorrow we will ride to Butchart Gardens then catch another ferry. This time a Washington St. ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Back in the USA. You can call and text us anytime again! We may ride around the whole island (65 miles) or go kayaking or maybe both.
