• Day 30 - Port Renfrew - Victoria

    30. mai 1974, Canada

    We are 30 days into our journey to South America. What an experience it has been so far!

    Today, we took an unpaved road with lots of potholes back to Victoria. Heavily loaded Logging Trucks came full speed at us. I had to drive carefully because you never knew what to expect around the next corner, and those trucks have the right of way! The road led through deep forest, always up and down. Sometimes we crossed over a deep gorge on long wooden bridges.

    After we passed Shawinigan Lake, we stopped again at the Silver Mine Ranch for horseback riding. The weather was great this time, and we got better horses too. There was a nice path through the woods and beautiful meadows.

    We found a picnic area in Victoria to wash and put on nicer clothes. Then we visited Victoria City and looked for a place to have dinner.

    We choose the "Ask Harry Restaurant." They had an exciting concept where guests get a plate with potatoes and garlic bread and can DIY grill meat of their choice. In addition, they had a lovely Salad Bar.

    We made a toast to a successful island tour with a glass of Rosé and spent the night near the ferry on a Provincial Campground, watching a stunning sunset.
