This week my Wednesday hike excursion involved a short loop of Victoria’s inner harbour. The weather wasn’t the greatest, which may have contributed to some initial hike apathy, but we headed out anyway. To start we headed along the south side of the inner harbour towards Fisherman’s Wharf with the intention of getting on a harbour ferry and boating it to West Bay Marina. Unfortunately, our timing was off and we didn’t have the patience to wait for a ferry that was heading where we wanted to go; we cut across the harbour and saved ourselves a couple kilometers. On the way back through town we chose to distract ourselves further by stopping at the Tapas Bar for some food. Good food, so so hike.
