On our way to Victoria

Not a great night - think we both have colds and I was worrying a bit about the car hire and navigation out of Vancouver. Shouldn't have worried - despite a longer than anticipated journey to pick up the car , we managed to pick up a nice big Ford and navigate with the tom tom to pick up the ferry for Vancouver Island. Fantastic scenic crossing through forested islands to Schwartz bay just North of Victoria. Victoria is a quaint little place with a picturesque harbour and some old imposing Victorian buildings including Government House and the Fairmont Hotel where we are staying. Managed my first big steak dinner tonight to celebrate.
