Today we got up at 5:45 a.m. so we (just us, no vehicle) could be on the ferry
Coho for the 8:15 trip across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Victoria, Canada - a great 90 min. ferry ride! While on board, we arranged a bus ride to The Butchart Gardens and back (another post). Got back to Victoria about 4:30 and walked around the harbor and the downtown, shopped a bit, and had a good meal on the patio of a restaurant near the harbor. Watched our ferry come back into the harbor, so we ambled over there and hopped back on for the 7:30 p.m. trip back to Port Angeles, WA. Didn't get home to our camper until 9:45, which means we were whupped! But what a wonderful day!

It was dark and ominous in the direction of Victoria....
But the weather cleared into a gorgeous sunny day. |
