If you're hoppy and you know it...


No such thing...

...as too much beer.

Here we had a few pints at the fantastic Canoe Brewpub. Karen enjoyed a Siren's Song Pale Ale (5.0% alc/vol), followed by a Red Canoe Lager (5.2% alc/vol) while I settled in with a couple of pints of their seasonal Bavarian Copper Bock (6.5% alc/vol).

No such thing...

...as just a sparrow.

Oak Bay

We strolled around Oak Bay, watching what seemed like an endless parade of dogs retrieving balls and sticks. This chap seemed unphased by it all, until a particularly enthusiastic golden retriever arrived.

Fat Tug IPA

Beer was consumed...
Fat Tug IPA is a northwest style India Pale Ale. Very hoppy and around 7% alc/vol.

Legislative Breakfast

This was an unplanned event, as we walked past the building on Friday morning, the security man invited us in and we surrendered our driving licences for a tour and passes to the Legislative Dining Room.

It was a great breakfast and reasonably priced, very posh but very welcoming.
