Day Nr5: To Vancouver Island

On the 5th day of our holidays we left Toronto a flew with Air Canada (AC1175) at 9am to Vancouver. After arrival we picked up the rental car, which was a Nissan Altima.

Ferry to NanaimoWe left the airport and headed out North to Horseshoe Bay, via Glanville (whcih seems to be a main street in Vancouver, and had so much luck that we got a Ferry over to the Island about 45 min. earlier.On the way from Nanaimo (landing of the Ferry) drove again north on Highway #19 and further west on Freeway #4 to Port Alberni. There we checked in in a very nice Motel called “Esta Villa” (first impression, typical motel where the people got killed in the movies, but it was such a nice and friendly environment there).
After refreshing we drove to Marjan´s uncle and aunt which was just round the corner. It was so nice to meet these 2 older people (Uncle Ton & Aunti Shirley), and we had a lot of fun and a good supper (spare rips, Chris enjoyed it well and was later snorring on the couch there.
