So day 3 was half done, we had sandwiches in the room a couple drinks and went down to the Soda Shoppe for a Sundae. I also had the Hawian dog which is just like the pizza but on a hot dog. It was better than it sounds and it sounds frickin good. But the main deal was three scoops of diffrent kinda of ice cream with hot fudge and sprinkles.... Awesome, I mean that straight up awesome! Ghostly walks is interesting. The thing is it really only goes a few blocks but it does have some intresting stories. About a factory built above a grave and the shit that happened to the families who owned the land. The man who who built the Empress, Joe the thug who haunts Hombolt. Robert Service, some dude and his hooker and a few more. The only thing was I should have wore some jeans and a long sleeve shirt as it was cold.
Day 4 started same as all coffee and this time some warm cereal. The old lady and I had a few serious talks which werent that pleasant but then we played a game of squash. I love 5 star hotels and forgot how much I love squash. A shower, a snack and we were off to the wineries. We went to De Vine for a tasting. The winery sits on a nice hill, that I was worried to drive the Fiesta up. The problem was a tour had just come and the taster?? seemed much to busy to help us. After getting grumpy we left to look for more wineries. All of them were closed, so with tail between legs we went back. I shot the shit with the tour driver, he was a good old guy. Telling us all the "closed" ones were open just drive up but we stayed cause now it was just us. The wine was great, not gonna lie we bought 2 bottles. On the other hand the taster treated us like we were hicks. I dont like being spoke down to, but he was also nice so I have such mixed feelings. Anyways it is good wine, I would recommend it. We went to Church and State next. They had a white I really liked and I hate white but the reds gave me heart burn. I dunno if you are going to go to wineries I would say go to the little guy cause Church and State is almost too much a business and less a tourist attraction. Also people smarten up. 99 percent of you would be experts have no clue. People like what they like, yes you can describe the taste and flavour but dont be so pretensious (spelling error) as to say if it is a good wine. More than half of you are never going to go to Italy or France or Spain to taste wines so just drop the act! We came back, had another serious conv and then went out to Darcys pub for dinner. Another great place, I have no complaints about any food I have had in Vic. I got the old lady to have a shot and a couple beers which is a record for her in Vic. We came back and I love our King Sized bed.
Day 5 we were out of milk, so no coffee or no fruit loops. We walked downtown to find me a Timmies, BC you need to get some more TImmies Starbuck I am sorry but you suck. As a note for anyone on vacation if you need a shitter almost any tourist place has one just dont walk in and ask were it is, pretend like your there for the attraction. Then we took a 45 minute horse carriage ride. It was very nice through Beacon hill and James Bay. Of course hippies have to fuck things up. Some PETA shit heads were waiting to holler at us. Some day when my friend Tom rules the world he promises me stupid people will be outlawed including you, you stupid PETA fucks. Serious if that had been a wedding or something why do you douches need to yell, is it fun to ruin peoples days? Then we went to Irish times for the 3rd time and I finally had chowder it was awesome. Also I was super impressed that the waitress remembered our order and even that we were from E town. I mean I know I am sexy but... We had a drink at Garricks Head so we could take some pictures. We walked Bastion Square, the old lady wouldnt let me buy her a massage! They had nice shit but way over priced. She bought presents for her parents. I bought some cigars and now we are sitting chilling before our "romantic meal" I gotsta shave and shower soon. Maybe make it to the hot tub tonight. Sadly tomorrow is our last day. We have a squash date in the AM and Bouchart in the evening. Wanna go grab another bottle of De Vine in James bay at some point and maybe have another drink in JBI. So far it has been a pretty sweet week.
