64 miles +ferry ride
Tyler (guy we stayed with, not me) was kind enough to take us to the shop so that we could learn how to take care of our bikes better and make some adjustments. Thanks Tyler!
After we finished, we said goodbye and then made haste to get to the ferry on time. We decided to take a ferry going from Victoria to Port Angeles, Washington.
We rode a short ferry to cut off a large hill and save us some time.
If you notice there are three bikes at the Victoria to Port Angeles terminal, Nick's, mine, and our good friend Bill's bike. This is the third time we have run into him since we met him on the ferry form Prince Rupert to Port Hardy a week ago, despite having wildly different itineraries! He was smart and went island hopping the surrounding island by taking several short ferries.That is what Calvin did too. That is how you avoid the intense traffic that Nick and I hated actually enjoy bike touring Vancouver island. Oh well. Next time!
Here are some views of downtown Victoria from the ferry.
Below is a famous hotel.
It was windy on the boat!
There were many cyclists on board, including Ryan (green jacket below). Ryan is touring from Portland to Vancouver island and then heading for the tip of Argentina! We will join forces and ride with him for a while.
We arrived in Port Angles as the sun was setting, which was pretty, but also inconvenient for finding our way around town to a camping spot.
No problems at customs. Goodbye Canada, hello USA!
