Bellingham Washington to Victoria British Columbia 100 miles
The morning is beautiful with clear skies and no wind. You can hear different birds singing. Several varieties of boats are on the water already. We ate breakfast on the deck and then took their three cats on a cat walk around the yard. The two male cats get vests with a leash and the female gets just a collar. All have bells. Then we go outside where the cats go in different directions to explore the yard. Great opportunity to look at the different plants, shrubs and rocks. About 11:00 it’s time to load up and head north. A fuel and hot dog stop at Costco and then on to the Canadian border. The crossing was uneventful but slow. Rob got randomly selected for an at home Covid test. About 45 minutes later we reached the ferry terminal. Check in was quick. We waited in line about thirty minutes before loading the ferry. Once on the ferry vehicles are to stop 24 inches apart. The ride takes a little over 1.5 hours and is very smooth. Everyone takes off as fast as possible to head for their destination. Whenever we come to a stop light traffic slows for several lights. You would think we were back in Seattle. However, there are only two lanes not five. We found the hotel without much effort. After checking in we went to a nearby grocery store to buy frozen entrees for dinner and breakfast. We are thrifty travelers. The frozen breakfast options were various waffles so we bought turnovers from the bakery plus some yogurt. We chose shepherds pie for dinner. They had an entire frozen aisle full of Asian foods. The shelves across the aisle were full of Asian foods. Obviously there is a large Asian population in the area.
