Norman was waiting at the bus station for us, so he very kindly drove us home. Dying for a cup, and it was brilliant to catch up with he and Joan. Had SO much to tell them...
Poor old Norman was on rations prior to having one of "those" procedures, so we didn't play up, just had a quiet dinner.
Joan took Arthur and I walking around the area near where they live - lovely little beaches, rather pebbly, and wonderful views - over the water, past the Gulf Islands, and looking to the Olympic Mountain range in Washington State, USA. Brilliant weather again - low twenties. We have been so lucky. Had a nice lunch, and took care of the domestic chores - more washing!
Lovely dinner at home, and a couple of glasses of wine - Norman has been given the okay to drink a little again, so that was good.
Wednesday, Norman took us again to some lovely viewing spots, but unfortunately his eyes are playing up, so he had to take the afternoon to visit his eye specialist. Not good news - he's unable to come to Knight Inlet with us. What a shame - we have planned this for so many months.
Joan dropped Arthur and I in town, and we wandered around for a couple of hours - what a gorgeous small city Victoria is.. Brilliant little harbour, and float planes come and go all the time - once again perfect weather, so it was a pleasure to sit for a while and watch the entertainment. Arch and I picked up the rental car - a 4-wheel drive, ready to drive up to Campbell River in the morning, and on to Knight Inlet. Arch of course, negotiated the drive back to the house like a homing pigeon.
Have just packed our bags - limited to 20lbs each, and after our trekking, I'm an expert. You really CAN wear your clothes more than once, in fact many times more than that!!! Black is perfect, one thing looks exactly like another!!
Anyway, that's all for now, will post again when I can , probably back in Vancouver after the week-end. Hope the football is a good match, and we'll try to find out the results. Hope the Saints win!!
Cheers,
Ann and Arch
