Don't forget Milestone's on Wharf street, under the tourist information
both by the inner harbour.

You can also turn right off the Pat Bay Hwy. at McTavish and then left
on East Sanich Rd.  It isn't as fast as it is along the Pat Bay, but
it is much nicer.  East Sanich Rd. will eventually merge with the Pat
Bay again before Sayward (the Petrocan that Mark talks about) so you
can follow his route as well.

Have a nice trip.
