July 22, 2013: Anacortes, WA to Victoria, Canada

I spent the morning catching up on the blog, cooked eggplant slices for eggplant parmigiana and drove the few miles back to the docks where we got in line for the ferry to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.  We had time to have lunch, take a nap and people watch while waiting for the ferry since we had to be there at least 1 1/2 hours early because we are traveling internationally.  While waiting, we saw the inbound ferry disgorge at least 50 antique cars returning from the auto show in Victoria.  We were one of the first RVs on and are now in line to be the first one off. 



See that shiny white hood on the left behind the motorcyle
and the silver car, that's our View!
We spent most of our time on the ferry outside on the back deck to stay out of the chilly wind, enjoying the passage through the beautiful San Juan Islands on a sunny day.   We arrived in Sydney, Vancouver Island and drove 1/2 hour south to our campground/marina on the West bay of Victoria Harbor.  We barely fit in the space and it was not the prettiest spot, but it was convenient for touring Victoria.



 
 
 


After dinner, we walked around the marina where they have attractive floating homes, each with their own dock and gorgeous boat - what a life.
     Later we found that the homes started at 1.7 million and their boats were at least the cost of our home in South Carolina....hmmm, now where is that lottery ticket I bought????
