We left Cottage Pirouette this morning and headed straight for Schwartz Bay. We were a little early for our ferry which left at 12 midday. Eventually we boarded the ferry and we went out onto the deck. It was quite
windy like the first ferry we got to Vancouver Island, but it was much more cold and it was lunchtime so we needed to get some food, even though the ferry manoeuvred between a cluster of small islands. We weren’t sure if there were any whales or dolphins around here, but if there were, we would probably miss them.

We weren’t sure if there were any whales or dolphins around here, but if there were, we would probably miss them. Still, we saw 4 sea eagles on the coast of one island, swooping down into the water. Lucky we got a window seat whilst eating! Unfortunately, we took no photos as we were too busy handling our lunch..!! After eating, we sat on the deck outside, by which time we were in more open water and at some point we crossed through American territory and back into Canada. On the road map, you could easily see the tiny, tiny part on the end of Canada which is actually America. Bizarre...such a tiny piece of land....was it worth it I wonder?! What was there that decided who should have it?
We got back into the car, off the boat and towards Vancouver Airport to drop off the car. We offloaded all our luggage and got a Taxi to our last Bed and Breakfast called “Tree House”. When we arrived, we followed instructions which were taped to the front door addressed for us. We were supposed to be in “Far East I” which, when we saw it, was brighter then “Far East II” which is where we ended up i
nstead, but we didn’t mind, it was fine for what we wanted. And the reason? I followed instructions which led us into “Far East I”. The door was unlocked, and we opened the door and went in, to see a woman sitting as the desk on her laptop. It turns out that she had booked into “Far East II” but had gone into the other. She had settled in somewhat, and after speaking to the host who emphatically apologised for the mistake, asked if we were ok with the other room, which of course, we were! I do wonder how she read “I” as “II”.....or went into I by accident. I mean, when we reserved our room, we CHOSE the room. Did she forget or something?? Who forgets THAT information?

Well anyway, the Bed and Breakfast was very nice, the decor was quite Oriental, as was the hallway, the common room and the dining room. A very, very nice and comfortable place to stay.
