Lizard Adventure Travel

Recently I've been taking senior groups out on day trips around Victoria and to more quaint places such as Salt Spring Island, Chemainus and Comox.  I have to say that these have been some of the more entertaining trips that I've had all summer!  The seniors are friendly, spontaneous and always up for an adventure!

Favourite quotes from my senior groups...which I've graciously kept anonymous:

"Stop for that hunky hitch hiker!  He can sit on my lap" - hollered from the back of the bus

"Where's the Pot House?" - senior

"You mean the pottery house?" - Liz searching through tourist book

"No, NOT POTTERY...the marijuana house...I want to eat brownies and party on the Lizard Bus!" - senior

"That wine-tasting was delightful, so delightful I decided to keep the wine glass as a memory" - the wine glass was secretly revealed from within the purse, followed by a sly giggle

"I didn't like the wine, it tasted a bit like cat's piss...well you've gotta give everything a try!"

I look forward to the future senior trips, but in the interim I've found some great DISCOUNTS FOR SENIORS:
