West Bay

The walk we (R., Ryuu-chan, Dragon-kun, and I) did this week was to West Bay in Esquimalt and a water taxi over to Fishermen’s Wharf. (Around 9km)

We started near Beacon Hill Park and made our way past the parliament building, past The Empress Hotel, over the Johnson St. Bridge past Songhees Point and to the totem poles at Songhees Point before we realized that I hadn’t taken any pictures of our walk.

Songhees point is the location of the first signs of the Lekwungen spinning whorls. (Will do a post specifically on that in the future).

We stopped at the Boom + Batten for brunch and saw otters in the water.

After brunch, we continued along the water’s edge taking photos of interesting things along the way. (At this point Ryuu-chan refused to have her photo taken because one of her antlers fell off.)

We walked to West Bay Marina, where we waited for the water taxi.

When the Ferry/taxi arrived Ryuu-kun got to sit in the captain’s chair and also got to look at the instruments.

We were the only passengers onboard so we got to sit up front. (water taxi $15)

Did I take a photo of Fisherman’s Wharf? … again, no.

But I did take a photo of a ship’s bow that marks the playground near Fisherman’s Wharf.
