Rugby Union

Again this morning saw a training session arranged for the squad. Whilst the matches had been one-sided so far, previous experience meant the coaches were watching out for Crimson Tide, this weekend's opponents. The session was much closer to the hotel, taking place at James Bay RFC in McDonald Park a 15 minutes stroll from the accommodation.
Once the boys had been put through their paces the afternoon was once again free. This time, following local advice, a sizeable section of the group made their may to lake Thetis and the beach there to soak up the rays. The usual accompaniments of frisbie and rugby ball were taken.
Some of the more adventurous made their way through one of the forest paths to a clearing where they joined locals in leaping into the water and swimming back to shore. Some were able to deal with the heights much better than others....The evening was similar to those previous, a good meal in downtown Victoria, a quiet drink or two and then back to the hotel for some rest as tomorrow was one of the most eagerly anticipated of the tour - a boat trip up the coast to see killer whales in their natural environment
