Island adventure

Today we are on a roundabout journey down the backside of Vancouver Island.  This morning we took the bus from downtown Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay and a ferry to Nanaimo (pix to follow, my device is very twen-cen).  We spent a few hours there, and I ate my very first Nanaimo bar in its native habitat.

Now we are on the VIA Rail Mahalat en route to Victoria, where we will catch a bus back to Vancouver (via Swartz Bay and the ferry to Tsawassen).  We could throw a plane in there for true multimodal goodness, but this way we're maintaining a pretty low carbon footprint for this trip.  The best part is that we get to sleep in our own bed tonight.

It was fun the trip. I felt like being in Sedona. It looked like a ghost town - there was very few people around the town. It was fun though :-)

Hey, that sounds great! You should go to this place I heard about on the radio, called Namaimo!

Oh, yeah, you did. :-)
