Ferry to Victoria, BC

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:59:59 -800

It is a long way from Whistler to the ferry terminal.
Distance-wise it's not that far, but speed limits are low in British Columbia.
Despite that, we routinely drove 25 over the limit and were still passed by the
BC police. Traffic through town is sort of bad (no worse than Portland,
actually), so we got to the ferry terminal about a quarter after 3pm. Good
call on our part; by that time the ferry was already 46% full. The ferry is an
auto ferry, and a nice big comfortable one at that. We went up on deck and
spent most of the ferry ride either taking pictures of the water journey in
progress, or asleep because we were both tired. The trip was pleasant and
uneventful, and we landed in Victoria shortly before dinner.
