Picked up the rental car a little after ten and headed in the direction of Sooke Harbour.
First stop a Salvation Army and a strike out.
Next stop Potholes Regional Park they are actually talking about geological formations, though the condition of the road matches as well.
Looks like it would be really nice hiking terrain if I did that sort of thing.
Next three stops more thrift and junk stores one of which was so crammed with stuff I couldn’t get down half the aisles. Seem more like a junk barn with a junk yard dog owner.
Decided to go further than Sooke Harbour turned around at Jordan River an old logging town. A pretty drive, and I pasted this place which reminded me of Pat who used to run a resort by the same name:
Got the car back around 4, and snagged a ride back to the Clipper Terminal, casting about for an early dinner location. Passed on the Day Inss restaurant from the last trip, looked at a couple of others, settled on Santiagos. Started with the full size order of Ceviche should have stopped there. I though the kiddy portion of nachos would be the nice little thing to finish the meal I thought wrong. 10″ plate of cheese nachos with a ton of salsa/sour cream/guacamole on the side. I pity the child that would actually eat that size a portion.
A quick ride back on the Clipper got there a little before 6 and walked right to Immigration, boat left at 7, and by 10pm I was at home having a cocktail. That might be a new record.
Tomorrow, back to the deck project.
Damn.
