The Corn Maze

After sleeping in, I went Downtown around noon in order to pick up my paycheck and get my rent for next month. I quickly went home after that in order to eat an omlette for lunch. When I was done with that, I already had to leave again.

I was taking a bus to the Camosun College Interurban Campus, where I met with Simone and together, we took another bus going further up North. Both bus rides together took me about 1.5 hours. We got off the bus a little too early and consequently, we had to walk about 1 kilometre until we finally arrived at the corn maze. I had always wanted to go into a maze but until now, I had just never had the chance to do that.
Just before entering the maze, an old lady with a little boy drove past us in her car. She reconized me at once and after a while, I also reconized her - I had met her months ago at some concert in the Victoria Harbour area, where the little boy had danced impressively to the music. I had also met her again a few weeks later, when she happened to come into the gift store. At first I had been thrilled to see her again at the gift store but that had changed when she gave me a flyer of Jehova's Witnesses. Since that day, I just thought that she was a bit creepy. Therefore I wasn't really happy about seeing her again. Luckily, I lost sight of her right after we paid our entrance fees for the maze.
In order to make the maze more interesting, there were 6 game stations all over the maze. We got a map with 12 locations marked and the information that the game stations were located at some of the marked spots. At first it seemed pretty easy to find all of the lacations with the help of our map. Simone had started leading the way and after finding the first two locations, we switched the leading role. The maze actually consisted of two big mazes and we found 3 of the 6 game stations in the first maze. When we started the second maze, it didn't seem much different from the first. It was my turn to lead again. However, after finding game station number 4, the actual path seemed different to me than the one on the map. I still tried leading the way and then suddenly, we were completely lost. We couldn't even find the way back to where we had started and walked disorientedly through the maze until meeting some other people. Unfortunately, they were lost, too. We kept walking random paths until we finally did find someone who knew where we currently where. Apparently, we had skipped two map locations and were close to the location number 10. After arriving there, we got the information that there is no game station at number 11 and thus, we only had three more map locations to check out, which wasn't too hard anymore. We were done with the maze after a bit less than two hours.
Just when we left the maze and walked in the direction of the bus stop, the bus passed that bus stop and drove right past us. As the next bus would be here in about two hours, we decided to try and walk to another bus stop. That other bus stop was located about 3.6 kilometres from us, right at the Victoria Airport. As we would be home an hour earlier that way, we deided to walk to the airport instead of waiting. The walk seemed extremely long and it also wasn't very comfortable as there were no paths for pedestrians. In addition to that, the sun was slowly starting to set and it was getting colder by the minute. By the time we arrived at the airport, we were freezing a bit and so it was really good that we could wait inside the airport for 20 minutes until the bus arrived. We had to transfer buses twice until we were finally in the bus that would bring us straight home.
 

Back at home, I had a salad and some nachos for dinner while watching some tv.
