En route for Victoria

Nanaimo and Mt Benson from the passenger deck of the Queen of Bowen ferry. The drive to Victoria takes about one and a half hours, about the time it took to drive from home to work in Toronto on a bad day. We shopped till we dropped and then back to Gabriola, eating take out supper while we waited for the ferry. We did have lunch in a really nice Thai restaurant on Fort S., and paid my first visit to Lee Valley - I don't like their system, reminded me of the old LCBO, paper and pencil in hand. On-line works better.
