Ferry Me




Well in real time it's the 28th October but in Blogland we are still blisfully wandering through the last wonderul moments of our Canadian holiday on the blog-day of Friday October 14 2011





We made some time calculations and thought that if we arose early we would have time for a morning coast run.  Unfortunately during the run we found out houw beautiful it was around here, plus along the coastline was a very scenic walk along with carefully placed tourist assets from the logging days.  We were so rushed that there was not time for photographs.


And, then on our return no time to enjoy our faboulous apartment, except for the shower!  We wanted to stay longer.









We just made it to the Saltery Bay Ferry terminal





 Agata and the Mustang are loaded - check!




 Yes, this is not just a car ferry, Harley's accepted too






 Agata, the eagle eyed real estate investor





 Here is a large snake but he is hiding quite well




We are on a tight deadline but we think there is time for an expedition to the Smuggler Cove at Marine Park


Believe me this Woodpecker is the only wildlife we saw here.  Where are all the animals?


More manicured paths, they are making the ramble too easy n'est pas?






Some Spectacular views


No more animals but a touch of woodworm, does that count as wildlife?


We are again out of time and it is back to the road





Thanks to a portable Internet Connection, our GPS and Google Maps we found the area's best Chip Shop.  Robert's Creek  Sharkey's Fish Locker




We headed into town and had an impromptu slap up, sit down meal.


Our last Ferry for our holiday: Horseshoe Bay to Vancouver


<Several Hours later>


Agata planned for us to visit the Cliffwalk Capilano Suspension Bridge




We paid for the parking.  Then headed over to the Entrance.  It was closed!   We felt gutted, they took our money and we have nothing to show for it.


So finally, with the Suspension Bridge mission aborted there was time to check into our city centre hotel.  This time the large though mediocre Sunrise Inn.  Once installed it was time for a last night in Vancouver town.




Ah a first Single Speed bicycle is seen.  I can tell I must be in that expensive and impractical metropolis.  Just time to catch a heathly meal and then a movie before another well earned rest.
