Bought bus day passes for $3 each. Rode the bus to the world-
famous Butchart Gardens and spent a couple of hours strolling among the myriad beautiful flowers. Ate a delicious, healthful lunch in the cafeteria, with green plants all around us.
Rode the bus to the small town of Sidney and walked around. They were having inline-skate races for kids and young adults, so we watched that for a while. Boy, did those kids have lots of energy!
We were on our way back to the bus when lo and behold! Roy saw a couple of guys he knew from Marina Bay! They used to have their boat near his. Now they've retired and sailed up here. They're very nice guys. Drove us around in their car. Showed us a lot of beautiful places we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. Also showed us some other marinas. Then they took us back to the boat.
After they had left, we took a bus to the Gorge. It's so narrow there that the water sometimes rushes through at 10 knots and creates a lot turbulence, but it wasn't doing much when we were there. Walked around the park a while and then returned to Victoria.
Just as we got off the bus, a couple of young guys started fighting on the sidewalk. They were really going at it hammer and tongs. A crowd gathered around to watch, but nobody tried to break them up.
