Vancouver Island
Well, it certainly turned out that the trip to Vancouver Island was a bit more than a trip to Straddie Island! We left home at 7.30am and took 2 buses and 1 train to reach the harbour.Then a 90 min ferry trip on a very classy ferry saw us arrive on the island.Little did we realise that we still had another 90 min bus trip to reach downtown Victoria! However, it has been a very enjoyable stay. Victoria,which is actually ...
D4: Wow I Made it! This is Victoria!

I left Okotoks on a sunny, clear Sunday morning and stopped in Calgary to pick up Maria. Soon after, we were headed west through the mountains.
About 10 km before Golden, we hit our first obstacle: a road block that had us wait 3 hours ...
A Secluded Cove
... to the cove without incident – gorgeous, gorgeous, and gorgeous! A rock-strewn beach surrounded by cliffs opening to the Straits and we have it all to ourselves. There is evidence of a campfire, probably a camp for kayakers as I can't imagine making that descent with a backpack.
