Vancouver Island, Day 4

Day 4, sadly, bears almost no visual documentation. We drove north out of Port Renfrew, into the mountains that split the island into east and west halves, and ended up on the east side of the island, about an hour north of Victoria. The weather was wet, and indoor activities looked to be the order of the day.

Turns out Maggie and I don't know of very many fun indoor activities, at least not on Vancouver Island. Instead, we decided to play a sort of game. We decided to make an arbitrary rule that we had to stop and have a beer in every pub we passed on our drive back towards Victoria. This turned out to be great fun, even though we were (and still remain) vastly disappointed with Canada's selection of draft beers. Apparently, if the color of the beer strays too far from the color of urine, it is deemed too dark, and is disposed of or scorned.

The end of the day found us in a cheap motel about a mile from downtown Victoria.
