home away from home
Today the fun starts! A taxi takes us to Cruise Canada
where we can pick up our ‘home away from home’. Our first impression is: wow
this is BIG! Luckily we get to see an instruction-video because this is the
first time for us driving such a huge vehicle (well… in fact honestly it will
be Eric who’s driving and me enjoying the scenery). Cruise Canada provides us
with a RV which is 25 feet long (almost 8 meters) with enormous pictures
on the sides so the next 4 weeks we will drive around in a huge billboard of
Cruise Canada.
Eric assures me it drives easily. Our first stop is at
a gas station and then we look for a supermarket. Well stocked we continue
towards the ferry to Vancouver Island. All goes well and in no time we’re
having lunch on the boat. We’re spending our first night on the Island on a big
campground just outside the city of Victoria.
Just down the road is a bus stop for the bus to Victoria (so no need to drive the RV into the city).
