Vancouver Island Trip – Day Three

I refer to this day as the 50/50 day as I had planned for four activities but we only accomplished two. 😕

First stop, the Dallas Road Waterfront Trail

After some walking about it’s time for some lunch. Today, it’s the Flying Oyster Grill.

It’s a very nice place right on the harbour in downtown Victoria and they have lots of GF GF options.

Our next planned stop is the Malahat Skywalk which is about 45 minutes away.

I check their website and the last tickets sold are at 3pm. We won’t make it in time, we’ve spent too much time walking around, parking the car and having lunch.

However, item number four on the list is to take a 1/2hr small ferry ride from Mill Bay, which is near the Malahat Skywalk, to Brentwood Bay which is fairly close to Gail’s condo. So, I drive for about 45 minutes and get into the lineup for the ferry. The ferry is just coming in but it only takes 10 cars at a time.

We’re way more than number 10 in line. Shirley talks to the people ahead of us and determined that the wait will be way too long. So, no fun ferry ride as we pull out of line and drive back the way we came. I really dislike backtracking and was looking forward to the ferry adventure.

Back at the ranch it’s dinner, some TV and off to bed. A lot of driving today. Perhaps we’ll get to #3 &#4 later in the week.
