Day 2: Vancouver to Courtenay
This morning we walked around in the rain trying to find a bus stop.
Finally we found it.
The bus cost $2.25 and took about an hour.
Horseshoe Bay is where the ferry leaves from.
The ferry goes to Departure Bay in Nanaimo. It costs $11.50.
It took about an hour and a half.
It was a cool ferry.
There were lots of different places to sit, cafes and a shop ... this was the kind of ferry I was imagining when we took the ferry to Hokkaido.
We had to wait for a couple of hours in Nanaimo for the bus so we went to a bar. It was packed with people. There was some kind of event on called a silent auction. They had wireless internet which was cool.
We took the Islandlink bus from Nanaimo to Courtenay. It took about an hour and a half.
The bus driver was really cool.
It was still raining when we got to Courtenay but the driver was nice and he dropped us off pretty close to our accommodation.
This is our room. I like it.
notes
took about an hour - actually it took about 40 mins
it took about an hour and a half - actually, sailing time is one hour and thirty five minutes
silent auction
This is from Wikipedia: This is often a variant of an English auction, where bids are written on a sheet of paper, and at the predetermined end of the auction, the highest listed bidder wins the prize. This auction variant is often used in charity events, and many items may be auctioned simultaneously. Participants submit bids normally on paper, near the item. Other variations of this type of auction may include sealed bids. The highest bidder pays the price he or she submitted.
