So it was a rainy night in BC as the bus took us on a tour of the daytime sites at "night" through the great city of Victoria. When the bus driver announced there were paper towels on the seats we figured we were in for a less than wonderful excursion. When he then said "this is the first time I've done this tour at night," we knew this was going to be a disaster. It pretty much was.
"Lancer; Hero of the West" pretty much stuck to his guns. He didn't complain, took in what scenery he could and stood his ground. Lancer makes the most of everything he can. You can check out more about him at our website.
Pulling out our flashlights the best part of the tour was getting out overlooking the harbor. The flashlights were needed because there were no working lights late at night at our stop. We walked the paths and shot cool shots across the harbor.
Then we passed through a park which was not lit. He pointed out a few things which would have been nice during the day. We constantly had to use our "paper towel" to wipe the windows of the bus which was vintage British. No heat or air and only two sliding portions of windows to help clear the mist.
Folks were angry and started making a lot of rude remarks. No need for that but then again there was no need for this tour. It should have been canceled and if so we could have signed up for another tour. At least four of us asked for refunds from Carnival and after much discussion we got half of our money back. That wasn't enough but doable.
We'd like to go back on a warm summer's day sometime. Yup it should have been called off.
