Victoria Island Ferry Adventure

on August 18, 2013

After leaving the Washington Pacific Coast, we headed to Port Angeles to get on a big boat that they call the “ferry.” We left at night before all of the fireworks displays started and sailed away toward Canada in the darkness.  The seats inside the ferry were very comfy and I took a nap. We we arrived, Mommy handed the Canadian immigration/customs’ officer my paperwork and we were approved to drive off.

When we arrived at night, it was hard to see much but there was one beautiful building lit by thousands of lights.  We spent the evening with Grandma’s friend from back when she was in college.

When we woke up, we took a tour of Victoria.  First, we went to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Next, we went to the Visitor’s center.

We also went to see the famous Butchart Gardens. I expected Daddy to leave me in the car but it turned out to be doggy friendly. Yay! And I was told that I was free (although it’s very expensive for humans).

Before heading to our next ferry, Mommy and Daddy stopped for a drink at Sea Cider.  Those ciders looked very pretty but Mommy and Daddy didn’t think they tasted very good.

We left Victoria on an even bigger ferry than we took when we got there.  This one had multiple levels and many lanes of cars.  There were also many restaurants and lounges and Mommy enjoyed the open deck at the top while Daddy and I napped in the car and played with the other doggies on at the pet area.
