How life stops nowadays when there is no internet. No internet, no planning, no blog, no happy Browns.
As we were up early, Pete went to the Rec Room where you can access the internet connection and I stayed with the boys. A lovely short internet free walk across the bridge where we found an outdoor gym.
After Pete returned to the RV we made the small stroll to the BC Ferry Station to board the Ferry, Neptune, to the port of Vesuvius, on the small island of Salt Spring (Gulf Islands).
A quick enjoyable flat ferry ride. On arrival, we discovered that the transit bus only had limited pick up times as it was a Saturday. Sounds like sightseeing in Western Australia…
After waiting almost an hour we did manage to find a taxi number. After phoning we were advised “it was on its way”, however, in the end, the shuttle came before the taxi, which we took.
Into the small, busy, busy village of Ganges. A nice walk around the town and the huge farmer’s markets which were all crammed with locals and tourists. Crowds are really not our thing…
With waiting lists at restaurants up to an hour, we decided to try the local supermarket and we found, pies, meat pies…
They had to be microwaved but they were still delish! And with tomato sauce.
We ate them in a small park overlooking Ganges Harbour.
Now we just needed to work out how to get back to the small ferry port. The next shuttle did not leave until 4 pm. We were hoping to get the 2 pm ferry.
Our only option, take our chance on the taxi service and this time we were in luck. The taxi arrived at the ferry in time, no waiting and back to Crofton, Osborne Bay.
All to the Rec Room where we spent the following few hours working out the next places to explore on our Canadian adventure. Oh and a quick load of washing.
Looks like we cannot be fussy, all of the RV Parks are very full.
