My Trip to Vancouver Island (Victoria, Parksville, Courtenay and More..)







Day One

Arriving the ferry terminal where the ferry would take us to Vancouver Island and that is a two and a half hours boat ride.






People were relaxing and taking pictures while waiting to get on the ferry.




Other ferry leaving






Finally, aboard our ferry

oops, I meant to say 1 and half hours, thanks for pointing that out.




On the way to Victoria, the ferry passed by many islands, some are tiny with no resident at all but there are also some bigger ones that even have small towns.

I just took the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver and backwards yesterday. A fairly scenic route. The ferries were much bigger than I anticipated.
