Day 5 - Ferry to Victoria

Added Day 4 and Day 5 stuff tonight.

Day 5… We were awakened by soft thunder and the sound of rain on the metal roof outside the window of our hotel in Whistler. We needed to get up and get going, busy day. But the effects of the sound of the rain and previous day’s activities caused us to stay under the covers a little longer. Finally, we forced ourselves to arise and start our day.

Today we checked out of the Delta Whistler Suites and headed back to Vancouver on the Sea to the Sun highway. Due to the fog and low cloud ceiling, the views weren’t all that great this time but it is still a fun, beautiful drive. We got back to Vancouver, ate a burger for lunch and returned our car at the airport. We then caught a taxi and were on our way to the Tsawassen ferry to Victoria.

We got on the 2:00 PM ferry and arrived at Schwartz Bay at 3:35. The ferry takes a route through some of the islands and it is really beautiful. It was very windy and cold on the ferry if you wandered outside. We took a bus into Victoria and checked in at the Harbour Hotel and Suites. Our room is on the 11th floor overlooking the Victoria Inner Harbor. It’s a great view. Laying in our king size bed you can turn and look through the sliding glass doors, through our balcony and into the harbor, without even really moving. It’s great!

Tonight we relaxed and walked to dinner. Tomorrow we’re probably going to Butchart Gardens so check back! J
