Salmon Point (Campbell River)

Monday 25th June

This morning we packed up & departed Diane's place to catch the ferry across to Vancouver Island. With a few false starts getting out of Vancouver in 'peak hour' (pretty light traffic by Melbourne standards), we reached Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal with heaps of time.  The ferry is a decent sized car ferry, and very reasonably priced.The trip across takes a couple of hours.

 Arriving in Nanaimo, we drove north to Campbell River, then back down to Salmon Point about 20mins south.

Wood carving in Campbell River - "Feeding the Family". Quadra Island in the background.

This is a great little spot. We are in a very nice cabin (piked on camping when it started to rain - then it stopped!). Fabulous view over Georgia Strait to the snow capped mountains on the mainland, and an eagle swooping for fish. The wind has dropped, it is 9pm but still light - should be on the water...  (Tomorrow!)

Our little house for the next 2 nights

The view!

Later, on sunset (at 9.30pm)
