We started our adventure to get to Vancouver Island! There was the option of getting a coach all the way there but it cost a lot of money for what it was so we decided to make our own way on public transport! We had to get to the underground station and take the train out of downtown to a station where we caught the bus down to the ferry. Then we jumped aboard the ferry for 1 hour 35mins, and then caught the city bus, which took about an hour, into Victoria. We made it in 6.5 hours, would have been 5 hours, but there wasn’t a ferry on the hour that we got to the dock! The ferry weaved through islands and mainland to get to Swartz Bay, so we had some beautiful views, made even better by the sunny day!
Our hostel is nice and we have a tiny double room for the same price as a dorm – bargain – even got a fridge! We spent the evening mooching around Victoria. It is a lovely town which we have fallen in love with already! The harbour front was very picturesque, even more so with the legislative buildings in the background all lit up!
Mark was chuffed as he found an Irish shop, I was chuffed as I got a new book! We’re here for 2nights, hoping the weather continues to be nice and we’re looking forward to exploring tomorrow!
