July 24 Were in Victoria tonight. Love this place. Last year when we came through with Jeff and Fran the Buskers festival was in town, it was so successful they brought it back again this year and were here just in time for it. Buskers are street entertainers and they are fun to watch. We have reservations for two nights, today we just walked around town and played tourist and then took the dinghy up into the upper harbor. It goes for miles until it ends in a shallow bird sanctuary. The waterway is very narrow in places with beautiful homes and parks along the way and a fantastic running trail that follows the waterway. Their were probably over a hundred people in kayaks, canoes, rowing sculls and dragon boats paddling around up there. Their are several rowing clubs located along the waterway and it seems to be a very popular activity for the locals. tomorrow we may break out the bicycles and ride around town or we may sign up for the zip line tour. More on that tomorrow.
