We drove around quite a bit, seeing all the Victoria area sights: Parliament, Empress & Craigdorroch. We drove the circle route to Port Renfrew-Lake Cowichan-Duncan. It was too long and too bumpy, but we had lunch with Bill, who is recovering from surgery.
After 6 days, we took the scenic route - Nanaimo/ Horshoe Bay - to Vancouver to stay in a RCI condo "at the Park." It was very nice, 2-bed 2-bath, but had some drawbacks. We were there 3 nights, visiting Stanley Park, and the Capilano Bridge Park. What an experience!
We came back to Port Orchard, via Tswassan-Victoria-Port Angeles just the day before they were to leave.
