Avalon, Catalina Island – Day 3

Golf Cart rental

We were at the Catalina Golf Cart Rentals at 9 am for the early bird special, where you buy two hours, get the third free. We were out for about 2.5 hours. Alex (We think that was his name, an island character) was very helpful the day before explaining the route to take on a map. Here are some of the photos and videos from our trip around Avalon. All of our photos, full size images are available on Smugmug. I will add the link soon when the images are available.

This is a fascinating island and owes a lot to William Wrigley Jr, yes, the chewing gum Wrigley. Read more here.

Catalina, Chimes Tower

We have heard the chimes over the town for several days now but we did not know where the chimes originated from, until today. We were at the tower reading a notice about restoration and did not expect to here the chimes. We were at the tower at 11 am, just as the chimes started so I quickly found the camera app and started recording. Not my best effort but I recorded most of it.

Bison Expedition

In the afternoon, we went on a Bison Expedition for 2 hours, which was great fun. Andrew was our guide and was great, very informative about the island and bison. He was also great with the jokes and keeping us entertained. We saw bison. The photos and videos are below.
