A walk in the rain

When we woke it was still raining and it didn't stop until late in the afternoon. We packed up camp and drove to the beach, where we paid 15 dollars to go on the beach for a walk. We both dressed head to toe in our rain gear and headed out into the storm. The beach was amazing. The rainforest ended with dwarf trees warn down by the wind, making an almost impenetrable barrier to the beach. Then there was a thick layer of drift wood and finally the beach and the wild Pacific ocean. We managed a rain and windswept walk, then drove the winding road down to Victoria. It was on 250 kms, but due to the rain, twisting roads, traffic lights on the motorway and rush hour traffic it took over 4 hours. We eventually found a campsite run by a German who likes to drive around in a golf cart (Thatis lake). Once settled we took a taxi into Victoria and ate at the Wharfside restaurant, where we'd eaten 7 years ago on a previous trip. Once done we had a walk through the town and caught a taxi back to the campsite. I like Victoria much more than Vancouver. I think it's because of the setting in the bay and it feels much more intimate and friendly. If I was to come and live in Canada, I think I'd want to live here. Well, time to get some sleep and hope for a dry day tomorrow.
