Time: We will all catch the Crofton ferry that departs 11:25 am; we will stroll a short distance
to Royalty T for Tea which commences at noon (or whenever we get there). We will plan to catch the 3 pm ferry back to Crofton.
A maximum of 20 members will travel to Vesuvius via free walk-on ferry from Crofton to Vesuvius arriving in time for Tea elegantly served on an
amazing collection of Royal china, a special occasion for the Anglophiles amongst us. Scones, cucumber sandwiches and clotted cream (among
many other delicious treats) beckon. Tea in dainty porcelain china. And all accompanied by a beautiful view of the Bay from a private tea room. Live like a queen for the day. (Dress like her, too, if you want.)
Location: Royal T Baking Tea House, 777 Vesuvius Rd., Saltspring Island.
