Today we made the trip from Vancouver to Vancouver Island and eventually to Victoria! That started with a ferry trip! We had a couple of options and opted for the longer ferry trip but the shorter drive. It also was a route that would take us by something we wanted to see so it made sense. This boat had a cool observation area on top and in front where we could sit. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the view as we made the trip. There were a LOT of cars and buses and big rigs on the ferry so it gives you an idea of the size. And it did not rock in the water.
Out of the enclosed area it was very windy!
Can you tell how windy it is on the other side of the glass?
Very peaceful views! We thought for a bit it would be nice to live on the shore to see this view often, but if there was a smaller boat close the ferry would blow the horn and needless to say you don't want to hear that! Wow!
We made our way to the Butterfly Garden! I have plenty of photos but will try to leave only the highlights here! The do warn you the butterflies may land on you and to watch your step because they do seem to be everywhere!
Oh, and they had a few birds!
And they had labels at locations for where you could see caterpillars. Here is one of the more unusual ones!
I was never able to get a photo of the inside of these wings but they were a beautiful blue that you can just see peeking out!
Note - it was VERY hot and humid in there! Whew! Lots of cold water would have been good to bring with us!
After checking in and having dinner, we went for a short walk and saw this fun mural!
