Victoria to Harrison Hot Springs
We had to wait for the Ferry from Victoria to the Mainland for about an hour. We loaded on and Frances and I stayed on the car deck with the dogs. It was kind of cold near the front of the boat so we moved to the Doggy Lounge, which was back and between the cars and much warmer. We were still able to see the scenery from where we sat so it was not so bad. Frances stayed with both dogs while Colin and I made the mistake of going to the little on board restaurant for a really bad hamburger and fries.....lets put it this way.....the dogs did real well!
The Ferry trip was about 1 ½ hours and when we arrived we continued on to Abbotsford where Ed had to pick up a part for his breaking system. Once that was done we carried on to Harrison Hot Springs and the Sasquatch RV Park. A very neat little town but the Hot Springs were definitely disappointing. It was just hot water piped from 2 miles away into a public indoor pool that you had to pay $8.00 to get into. We decided to pass. There was however a Sand Sculpture contest going on and there were probably 30 or more Sand Sculptures on the beach. We checked most of it out through the fence as the admission into the large castle was $5.00 and the rest of the Sculptures cost $7.00 to go through. I’m thinking their admission was a little rich. After that we decided it was a pizza night and had some really good pizza in this little pizza place right in town.
