Last two days in Victoria.. Pulled Pork Poutine, followed by deep fried Mac&Cheese

We had a good two days with Kaily in Victoria.  Enjoyed getting caught up while feasting at her favourite restaurants.  (Tomorrow I'll start not eating as much, at least Kaily and i got a (fast for me) 10km run in this morning.. :) ).

 So, we took the dogs, Kaily's two Koda & Meeka, along with Duke to a wonderful beach for a walk. 


 Then went up to a Taco Shack for lunch.  They make everything from scratch at the taco shack, the shells and everything.





  That evening we caught the last part of a baseball game then out to dinner at the PIG, NICE place! Jerry had Pulled Pork Poutine, followed by deep fried Mac&Cheese.. OH MY GOD!  And today, we had desert TWICE! HELPP!!!!




 Back at our campsite at night.

Today we went to Kaily's home, then for a nice 10km run, then later hung out at the marina, Jerry was able to capture, on film here, this very patient bird waiting to eat an eel.  From when we got back, we saw him waiting, for at least one hour, we don't know how long he was there before.. (Jerry waited for 30mins until the bird caught and ate his eel..)



 Later this same evening out for dinner at 5th Ave Bar & Grill.





 Food there was some of the best food we've had on the trip so far.
Back at the RV, Kaily turned Duke into a lap dog.

Tomorrow, we're going to hang out at the Victoria inner harbor, then get on a ferrie at 2pm, start heading down the coast toward California.  We've decided to go around all the tornadoes, so, we're going straight south then east.. we'll see where the wind isn't blowing.

Camped in Victoria,BC now.. next to Funky Houseboats!

Love houseboats, Jerry found us a camp site where we are inter-mixed with them, right here in Victoria. It's a 10min bike right, or 30min walk downtown, on trails, right on the harbor, we'll be doing that trip a few times I'm sure.  So, YES, we're loving it.  These Houseboats each seem to have their own sailboat, nice lifestyle. 






 From our RV.. nice placement & wonderful dinner (not sure why we every go out!).

So, today, after having to replace 2 tires, front shocks and front brake work done.. we made our way from Parksville, BC to Victoria, BC.  The folks in Parksville who fixed our RV where wonderful, they worked on Baloo for about 3 hours and charged us for only 30mins, gotta like that! It rained today for really the first time on our trip, so, it was fine with us to have that work done today, and before we hit remote steep backcountry.  So, we're thankful.

Tomorrow we're going to run, then a bike in the afternoon, seeing as much of Kaily as we can (inbetween her work and baseball).  We're schedule to cross State side on Friday.
