First order of the day was Coffee (of course), then a supermarket to get all the Canadian goodies I'd promised Colleen. We managed to find most everything.
We took a quick trip to the school where Christine works, it's in a lovely setting on the hillside, with forest all around, though only a few minutes from her home.

We drove up to Horseshoe Bay for Lunch on the waterfront - it was really lovely. Had my first ever chowder, and my first ever Sangria. Both went down really well in the awesome bright sunshine, sitting on the deck of the restaurant.
After lunch we went to the nearby Point Atkinson, where there is a lighthouse and lovely walks around the wooded coastline. Although we got slightly lost, we managed to find out way in, and out again. The awesome weather meant we got we got pretty warm walking around, though it was cool under the shade of the trees.
We took our turns in posing for a final few photos:


Soon though it was time to head out to the airport. I found the sculpture there which appears on the $20 bill:

We we had a final meal and a beer, and said our goodbyes. I was really sad to go, but I'd had an amazing trip, with lots of memories and pictures to take with me. Thanks Christine!
