It's Tuesday afternoon and we just came back from a walk to the harbour, it's just a couple blocks from here. We went on a 20 minute tour of the island, on a sea plane! Rico was so excited, he was just like a little kid! He asked if he could be the co-pilot, and the pilot said sure, so Rico got to sit in the front seat. Joshie, Katie and I sat in the back. The plane had really big windows, so it was easy to see from all sides.
Our tour was only about 20 minutes, it went by really fast, but we got to see a big portion of the island and some of the ocean too. If we were lucky, we would have seen some whales, but not for us, not today.
Katie fell asleep right away, the very loud humming of the motor upset her at first, but within minutes, she was fast asleep. Josh seemed to like the ride, looking out the windows and smiling, but about the last 5 minutes, the humming put him to sleep too, he tried so hard to keep his eyes open, but it finally got the best of him, and he was passed out on my arm, it was sooo cute!
Before we knew it, our tour was over! It sure was lots of fun. We're now here back in our room taking a rest, we all seem to be tired today, so we haven't done too much, and really don't plan to, it's just an easy day. We'll probably walk a little more this afternoon, window shopping and dinner. That's about it.
We originally planned our trip here to Victoria in order to spend time with a good friend of my mom's that I have known since I was a kid. It turns out she's not feeling well, so we thought we would just play it by ear, I tried to call her today, but I can't get through on her number, so I think we're going to miss her all together, so that's a little disappointing.
Tomorrow afternoon we take the 15 minute flight again back to Vancouver where we will spend 4 days, the last leg of our trip. With no plans there either, we have no idea what there is to do or what we will do...sounds like fun...
