A chilly start to the morning trying to find an internet connection and waiting for Noah and Wes to wake up. We must be the only parents of a 6 and 7-year-old who are awake before them.
Time to pack up the motorhome and drive into Victoria (the capital of British Columbia) and to the shopping centre meeting point where we will catch up with Jeff Bevington, an old Buccs player who spent five seasons playing in Geraldton.
A McDonald’s stop before our 10 am meeting time. Not healthy, however, a quick meal option.
Jeff arrived, and he very kindly spent the day with us, showcasing the beautiful sights of his city, Victoria.
A drive to a lovely lookout, Beacon Hill Park, and fun for the boys at the goat petting zoo, where we found the luckiest one-eyed goat on earth.
Onto downtown Victoria, for a beautiful walk around the marina and a light lunch.
The city is gorgeous, the day perfect and it was lovely to meet and spend time with Jeff.
Hopefully one day he and his family will come back and visit old friends in Geraldton.
As Jeff was driving away I remembered I had forgotten to take a nice photo of our day together. I did take video footage, please excuse the snapshot, and Jeff, so so sorry!
Back in the motorhome and to our destination for tonight, Osborne Bay Resort. It is a small park on the Osborne Bay in the timber town of Crofton.
Into our designated campsite and then, Oh… no sewer. Out of the campsite and back to the central sani-station. As we were back on the road we decided to see what options we had in the area for dinner. We found a lovely café, enjoyed a light meal and then continued back to the campground.
No internet at the campground, electricity, and water only. We are semi off the grid…
