After dinner at this cool little Tapas place in Victoria, which I forgot to document (stupid Kyle, stupid Kyle), we needed to kill some time, so we went to the Oak Bay Tea Party. Oh and by we I mean, Andrew, Martin, his girlfriend Michelle and myself.

Honestly I had no idea what the Oak Bay Tea Party was, here I am thinking it is some really old tradition where everyone sits around drinking tea and eating crumpets. WRONG. This was one of the liveliest events I have been to, carnival wise. It was much like a fair, there were lots of rides, lots of food, lots of music and lots of people. Families, Adults and crazy people like us, all there to just enjoy the evening.

I have fallen in love with the island, I love the view of the ocean and the mountains in the background and the general vide of the place. While I was enjoying that, Andrew was bouncing around encouraging me to go on some of the rides. Me being very unenthusiastic towards rides, I finally caved and went on just the ferris wheel. Amazing, I know, the ferris wheel (see video). I did enjoy the ferris wheel though, as it gave an amazing view of the bay and mountain. I was smart though I opted out of the next two rides in fear of becoming sick, which was smart. Andrew and Martin thought they could handle it (again see end of video).

I really enjoy the vibe of the community, it just seems like it is always here and I want that. Nevertheless though, I am a northern boy.
