Another great day on the road! Tonight we are in Sidney, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CANADA on Cole's Bay. It was a short day for road miles, but an incredible day for scenery. We left Poulsbo after a full breakfast with Dave Smith, a wonderful host and interesting man with a lot of energy. As we ride farther north we see more gorgeous, huge evergreen trees and more varieties of wild flowers. The highlight today was wild Shasta daisies, brilliant wild fuchsia foxglove, and wild white, pink, fuchsia sweet peas. While visiting with other bikers waiting to board the MV Coho of Black Ball Ferry, they gave us some hints on roads we are traveling. A real treat of hot rods and stock cars were also loading from the ferry as we entered Canada. Another treat was a tour of downtown Victoria with hanging baskets of flowers, white horses with carriages, government buildings and Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub. After settling in with our hosts, most of the boys had a dip in the bay before we had dinner at Mary’s Bleue Moon Café in Sidney, which is a wonderful and friendly place. We were served delicious hot wings, ribs, steak and mushroom pie, with our hosts and town guides, Carrie , Henry and lovely family. This little café is across from the airport with many aeronautical memorabilia photos and models and is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. -CNemec
