On July 29, we rented a scooter for the day, to explore Victoria and also to give us a way to get to Bob and Shelly’s place for dinner. We even had a chance to visit Marty’s sister, Cindy. The night before, Vicky came over to visit and pick up the things we wanted to leave behind before heading over to the states.
We started our scooter trip in warm, clear skies, along the waterfront but the fog rolled in and we had to go back to the boat to get our long underwear on. The waterfront trip was not exciting, as all we saw was a big white sheet, and it was cold. We went to UVIC, Mount Tolmie and Mount Douglas. The price of the scooter was reasonable.. For a two person scooter $99. (It ran on Biofuel.) We could have it for 8 hours; however, we needed the scooter past their closing time. They have special arrangements for people on boats. We kept the scooter overnight and returned it in the morning. We returned it after our lovely visit and dinner at Bob and Shelley's and a visit with Cindy. We highly recommend these scooters to any boaters in the Inner Harbour of Victoria. They were a great business.
When we were on top of Mount Douglas, Mae took a picture of Cordova Bay where Marty's parents have their home.
