Sunday 19th July We made a road trip to Vancouver Island and boarded the ferry - we had to wait about 4 hours in the ferry queue with (like everyone else) and the ferry took about an hour and a half. We had a walk around top dec admiring the moutains and the forests and said goodbye to Vancouver the City - we dislike city's and imediately felt an air of calmess upon us.
