Victoria, Vancouver Island, to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
and board our cruise ship, Statendam (Holland America Line)
|
Today was another travel day, leaving Victoria for Vancouver and the cruise up
the Inner Passage. After returning the rental car, we took a cab to the docks for the BC (British
Columbia) Ferry. Because of the problems with my right wrist, poor Ben was serving as pack mule
for the four suitcases, the two camera bags, his briefcase with both of our
computers, and the tripod. So you can imagine our excitement when the ticket agent told us that this
particular ferry carried a bus every Sunday headed for the cruise ships and
that we would be able to buy tickets on the ferry! Apparently, you can catch a bus in Downtown Victoria and they take you right to
the ship.
Driving it Home
Our best option prior to that was an $80-100 cab ride from the ferry port to the
Holland America port at Canada Place. We managed to get the last two seats and they even carry your bags onto the
ship! We used five diffferent modes of transportation today - rental car, taxi,
ferry boat, bus and cruise ship.

Yellowstone then Home
We explored the ship, ate way too much for dinner, and turned in early,
exhausted. It is beautiful, watching Vancouver Island slip away as we head out into the
famous Inner Passage to Alaska.
