I love how much public parks, sites and attractions to be explored in this beautiful city. My brother told me I should go check out a place called Horseshoe Bay. Luckily, since we are at the tail end of peak tourist season, parking was easy to be found, and we didn’t have to fight much of a crowd to see the various attractions. I think my Mom enjoyed the scenery. It also helped that it was super sunny today, making things much more enjoyable.
Oh, what’s this? Cypress Provincial Park is right beside us… Perhaps I should make a hill climb up there again with the sun! I actually saw so much more since it wasn’t rainy or foggy today.
One of the best parts of this road trip so far is that I am able to explore everything on my own terms, with my own vehicle. I don’t need to rely on friends or families to drive me, and be my tour guide, since all I need is a cell phone connection with a data plan. I know, I can always rent a car at my destination, but it isn’t the same as having your own car that you actually enjoy driving, instead of driving some (potentially) abused American budget sedan. If things work out, I truly hope to make this a regular occurrence in the future. Hell, I might drive to Vancouver again next year and actually drive out to Victoria! Let me see if I can convince my youngest brother to join me by then. That way I can get an extra co-driver.
