Today, we woke in Victoria. After breakfast, we headed by coach back to the Ferry Terminal, where we boarded the ferry back to the mainland. And luckily, we were able to pick up the little camera that I had accidentally left on the ferry on the way over!
It was about 1.5 hours on the ferry - enough time to get a sandwich for lunch and keep an eye out for any Orca Whales that may be lurking. Unfortunately we didn't see any.

Our coach was at the front of the line to leave the ferry. The doors to the ferry opened well before we were at the terminal. I am just pleased there were stops in front of the coach!
Once back on the mainland, the coach took us to Whistler - only a couple of hours drive away. The journey took us through Vancouver over the Lion's Gate Bridge.
We stopped off at Shannon Falls to check them out. Many of us braved the slippery walk to the falls - it was very icy on the track. The falls were frozen - which looked spectacular!
The girls were excited by the snow!
Someone else had built this snow man, so we decided to have our photo taken with it.
Ashleigh, Ali, Keith & I at Shannon Falls. We were so pleased to have our warm jackets and boots!
Once in Whistler, we got our room keys, then after dropping our hand luggage off, headed to the busy supermarket to get carrots so the girls could build snowmen! The town centre in Whistler was really buzzing!
Ali & Ashleigh came to our room - we were on different floors - to build their snowmen as we had a balcony and easy access to snow (even though it was not fresh snow). They each built their own snowmen. We stayed inside and kept warm!
After the snowman building, it was time to head downstairs for dinner with our tour group. It was a delicious buffet dinner with so much food to choose from!
After dinner, I grabbed everyone's washing for a date with the washing machine! My two loads took me till about 11pm to get finished! By then I was ready for bed. The girls had gone a bit earlier.
Till next time,
Doreen
