Day 5 – Part 2
The day had just started. We hit the beach for a while and had a couple of drinks in prep for the One Love Bus Tour with Lenbert. It was so cool to see the bus pull up and a guy lean out the window and call my name. We got on the bus and there were no seats left so someone got up and offered my wife one. I am thinking that is very nice, I can stand for awhile. Little was I to know that we were just started picking people up! I can see where this might be a bit daunting at first, after all these are not people that you know and you are now packed in with your armpit hanging over someone’s face swaying with the bus as it rambles up to the west end. As soon as you have had your first beer at Mi Yard all fears are put off as everyone joins in the common goal to have as much fun as possible. We met and talked with lots of great people and only regret was there was not enough time to meet everyone.
We connected with some people from Winnipeg, even though they thought my t-shirt was a Jets T-shirt! They were a fun group that was really enjoying themselves.
The people at Mi Yard brought out some food for us to sample. Smart marketing because I am sure some people will return to have a drink and a meal and the food was really good.
It was a short walk over to Swordfish. We chose the beach because we could. What a great view! They also have an ice cream parlour and café in the bottom part of the building.
Next up was Tayon’s. Pool tables inside and the seafood chowder looked good judging by the large guy out from that was working on a big bowl of it.
We then headed over to C&D Country & Western Roadside Pub. I don’t think the whole group could fit inside but the staff was really nice. Some people were eating the chocolate cake; they also had a couple of other kinds of cake for sale.
Lenbert then herded us up and on we went to The Spyder Bar. Did I forget to mention that once he dropped us off at Mi Yard he went out and picked up more people from SeaStar. Now there is around 50 people on the bus and we are all okay because we have had couple of beers by now.
