Beautifully Appointed Rooms Await Cyclist

We meet in Seattle on a Saturday morning and shuttle to a park in Anacortes, Washington.  After a bicycle ride around Fidalgo Island, we catch an early afternoon ferry for Vancouver Island and the city of Victoria.  We spend the night at the Laurel Point Inn on Victoria’s Inner Harbor.  Victoria has a beautiful downtown core centered around its Inner Harbor featuring a festive atmosphere, wide sidewalks lined with baskets of flowers hanging from light posts — perfect for walking, upscale shops and fine restaurants, and many reminders of its British heritage.  We see Victoria harbor from a fun perspective as we take a water taxi to dinner.
