We drove to Kempt Road and turned in the Sentra. There was no problem. Valerie had already arrived and we loaded our luggage into her new Audi. It is only days old and she is familiarizing herself with all of the gadgets. She said it is like driving a computer.
We decided to go back to her place. When there I got out the picture book of the house and showed it to her. She likes it. Her place has the most amazing View... Not a million dollar view a 3 million dollar view.
Again time just flew by and before we knew it time for lunch arrived. We walked to a near by place called the Wooden Monkey.Ken and I had a bowl of fish chowder. Valerie had a lamb burger. For dessert ken and I shared a blueberry crisp using fresh NS blueberries. Valerie had a lemon tart. Yummy!!
We walked back to Valerie's condo and visited a while longer.
Valerie was kind enough to offer to drive us to the airport. It was really appreciated; partly because it saved us a bundle on Taxi fare but mainly because it gave us more time to visit.:-)
We are booked in at the Quality Inn with no difficulty. We made our way to our room and found it to be very nice and spacious.
Much to our surprise the room does not have a refrigerator. I have never had a room without a refrigerator. It did not have any literature about the hotel so we did not know about dining or the location of ice machines or anything else. Strange to be sure.
We found out it has a very nice pool that we would have taken advantage of if we had known it was here.
When it was time for dinner we went to the Bistro in the facility,It is named the Wooden Door Bistro.
We checked out the menu and decided to have the seafood chowder again. This time I ordered a cup because I wasn't really that hungry. Ken ordered a bowl.
When we saw gingerbread on the menu Ken remembered how his mother made gingerbread and he remembered having a piece of gingerbread and a glass of cold milk when he got home from school. This one did not have raisins but Ken decided to step back in time and we would share a piece of this gingerbread.
I also ordered a cup of peppermint tea.
This was amazing and unbelievable!!!! Check this out!!!!
Ken's bowl is as wide as he is and the spoon will stand up in the chowder it was so thick and rich. The gingerbread was warm and wonderful. We were so glad that we did not order 2 of those but decided to share one.
We waddled our way back to our room, called to get a 5:00 am wake up and called it a night. We fly in the morning.
We will be back in Abbotsford tomorrow afternoon.
