29 April 2016: See ya next time Vancouver Island!

We slept in a nice hotel room last night. It was so good to have a hot shower and a proper bed that we both had 4 showers each! Talk about wasting water! But it was so good for the soul!

We decided to have a bit of a poke around the parliament building this morning before we set off for the ferry. What a cool building! So beautiful inside and out! We had a great chat to the security guards who laughingly made me promise that I wasn’t hiding bombs in my motorcycle boots. In Oz you wouldn’t even dream of making a joke like that!

Once we had finished snooping around there we went and had a chat to another aussie couple. We could hear their accent from miles away! They are having a lovely holiday here in Canada and share the same excitement as we do about you lovely Canadians!

On our way back to the bikes Scarlet wanted to meet a horse and ended up sat on a horse drawn carriage. She is becoming a real princess Jacquie!

We set the geepers for the ferry terminal and it took us on some lovely quiet back roads all the way to the terminal. It is sad to say goodbye to the island but we know there is a lot more of Canada to see yet!

We splurged on the ferry ride and bought some sweet potato fries for lunch and I gulped down a ‘root beer’ or sarsaparilla as we know it. Love that stuff!

Once we got off the ferry it was time to head to a RV park near Lions Gate bridge. We were going to look at a campervan this arvo for a dear friend of ours daughter, make sense of that sentence!

We checked out the van and then it was back to camp across the Lions Gate Bridge and time to hit the sack.

Tomorrow we are heading just north of Squamish where there is a free camp near a river! Only about 100 km away. We are looking forward to the Sea to Sky Highway, even though it’s sure to be busy!

Night all!

Oh, we are thinking we really want to go see a Ice Hockey game. Any recommendations?
