Sunday

our goal was to spend some time on Sunday on the water... it ended up being via ferry to Dockyard - which turned out to be a nice venture...  well first it started with breakfast with friends - unlike the Four Ways brunch over the summer that rendered us useless for the day - this homemade breakfast of french toast and sausage was just right...  and my new fave - fresh fruit and all natural peanut butter with my french toast...  the turkey sausage was pretty darned good too..
from there we scooted into town and caught the ferry over to Dockyard.  i cannot tell you the last time I took my scooter on the ferry with me - UM they changed how that works... so pretty much I carted that damned HEAVY 2 person scooter all over the place around the ferry station trying to find the on ramp - i suppose in comparison to other tourists i didnt look too silly....  and after watching the other toursists that had their bikes on the ferry with me - i can confirm that to be the case
we walked around Dockyard - looked at shops, went to the Maritime Museum...  hung out with the dolphins...  a whole bunch of facts and memories... 
we headed from there to Daniels Head to see the Vixen in her sticking out of the horizon shipwreck glory.... UM but I missed the turn...  so we ended up at Gibbs Hill instead
we walked the whole 185 steps to the top only for KP to NOT go out on the observation ledge with me... I dont know the last time I was up there.  i dont remember being unnerved by the height before - but that's probably because my companions never had that type of reaction - well except my mum but....  we had snacks at the base of the light house... mmmm yummy strawberries, meringue and cream....
from there we picked up some snacks - cheese, crackers, fruit, yogurt for the evening and then went to Elbow...  we were just going to walk the beach and then go to Astwood and Horseshoe but the siren's call of fruity cocktails at Lido got to us and we spent the rest of the afternoon sipping our ONE crazy expensive fruity drink (I never order fruity drinks so I am really not too sure what the going rate is for them these days)...  and then went back to Greenbank/Salt Kettle and had some wine and cheese and crackers with the sunset
By thatt time a colder front had started to blow in...
