It was like the Marie Celeste in the village this morning. All of the visitors, except Shirley and I, just melted away overnight. Only the staff of the various restaurants and shops remained!
It was a very lucky chance that rain made us decide to change our plans and come to Whistler last weekend and not leave it until next weekend. Had we have not done so there would have been no Gondola rides and no night life to speak of.
Today we left Whistler and decided to take the ferry to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island from Horseshoe Bay rather than take the longer trip back through Vancouver to across to Swartz Bay.
It was a smooth 1.5 hour crossing on the clean and very busy BC Ferries Oak Bay.
From Nanaimo the 120km road trip down to Victoria took about 2 hours.
From what I've seen of Victoria so far, I like it!
Shirley's unnerving ability to search out a bargain brought us direct to a Quality Inn in the centre of Victoria, where the rate we got is really excellent. And we have free WiFi......
I hope to solve the problem of a lack of photos soon.
More tomorrow
