In goes the new part.........the mechanic too!!!
The little green houseboat might be a bit cramped
The sun sets on a "cute little harbour ferry"After learning more in the past two days than anyone needs to know in order to lead a happy and productive life, about diesel engines, their electronic control modules and the many sensors that make them work, we now have a certified working engine!! Yippee!!
We’re back into solid tourist status. Victoria is as beautiful in the late summer as it is in the spring. Just different flowers!! We hit the Royal British Columbia Museum, another of the picks in “1000 Places to See Before You Die”. This museum outlines the history and art of the west coast native tribes in a First People’s Gallery with magnificent examples of totems, masks, an entire longhouse and, thousands of examples of artwork. There is also an extensive west coast natural history gallery and, the traveling Titanic exhibit is here too.
Fisherman’s Wharf is an eclectic collection of houseboats sheltering an even more eclectic collection of residents. And………the world famous Barb’s Place (owned by a guy named Ian????) is here, serving the best fish and chips we have ever had. Their clams and mussels were pretty decent too!! It is hard to know if there are more boats or floatplanes entering and exiting Victoria Harbour however, it makes for interesting viewing while chomping on the mussels, clams and fish on the harbour edge.
We met some great diesel mechanics but …….tourism is our preferred activity.
