I spent most of the morning in bed since I think the combination of juggling (the day before) and the ship moving really threw my equilibrium for a loop. Fortunately, by late morning I was feeling quite a bit better.
After several days of not being able to do the rock wall climbing, it was nice that the last day was warm enough and not too windy that the kids were able to climb the wall.
Abby made it about a third of the way up, but the other three kids all made it to the top and rang the bell, earning them a round of applause from the other much older climbers waiting on the ground. The kids thought it was extra cool that they made it to the top when many of the older climbers didn't.
Our next stop was Victoria, British Columbia.
Cool water taxis in Victoria Bay.
The British Columbia Parliament Building.
Super cool killer whale topiary near the Fairmont Empress Hotel.
We parted ways with Jody and Sarah since she wasn't sure that Sarah could make it walking much farther. After splitting up, we felt bad that Jody was possibly going to have to carry Sarah most of the way back to the ship, and we hoped to run into her on the way back to the ship, but we didn't find her until we got back. Fortunately she decided to grab a pedi-cab with Sarah and take the easy way back to the ship. Meanwhile, we made our way back to the ship via the Beacon Hill Park where we saw some cool trees with U-shaped trunks, some funny ducks, and some pretty cool vegetation/gardens.
Abby earned her ride back for the last half mile, again for not whining or complaining.
