Left mainland headed off to Victoria ...

June 22, 2009 - Left Nikki's around noon, & walked down couple streets to Tropica at Cambie/12th Ave where we had Malaysian/Singaporean Nasi Lemak, Hainanese Chicken Rice & Chinese Brocoli. Not bad for the price; $27. Left the place and got on the BC Transit for a mere $5 each with 2 transfers in total. The entire bus journey to Tsawwassen Terminal took 5 hours. From there we took the ferry across to Swartz Bay Terminal which journey was another 1.5 hours. Retrieved our bags after the ferry docked and headed to catch the bus to our hotel; another hour ride. We were bushed already and hungry too. As soon as we checked in we went out again; Sphagetti Factory & cold beer just around the corner. It's 11 pm Victoria time now and we are finally resting in clean sheets and really, really tired. Front desk will be waking us up in 5 hours so we can catch the bus at 6:15 a.m. for yet another long ride; 6 hours to Bamfield where we begin our trek for the next 6 - 7 days --- 77 km stretch length through cougar & bear forest. Wish us luck!!
