Each leg of this journey has been so different, and this final leg carried on, giving us new experiences and connecting us with so many different people. By this time in our journey, we were beginning to feel a little bit of pressure to make it down to Victoria by a certain date. We received some wonderful rides with interesting and kind people, showing us repeatedly that the world is filled with good.
We got picked up right away off the ferry from our first ride, Lorna, and were dropped off on the highway.
Wouldn't you pick these lovely ladies up?!
Ride #2 from Dan. This got us a few miles up the road. . every mile helps, and the ride was quite plush!
Ride #3: A schoolbus!
What a sweet ride!
A trailer for the night?? Yes, I'll book it for three! This wonderful accomodation was provided by John, a caring and kind individual, who picked us up in Port McNeill (right after we saw a large Black Bear across the road) and offered this trailer below his home in Nanaimo. Amazing!
Although this trailer had 5 individual beds, we still ended up squishing into 1 (by choice). We're foreseeing a bit of separation anxiety in the near future.
Ready for the final leg!
John was kind enough to drop us off at a prime spot to hitch to Victoria, after treating us to breakfast at Timmy Ho's. Thank you so much, John!
YAY!!!! We have made it to Victoria! Darren picked us up, telling us he could take us only as far as Duncan (halfway), but we ended up having such a good time and such good conversation about people doing good for others, that he offered to go all the way!
We don't have a photo of our next ride, but after finding out the bus system was on strike, we decided to stick out our thumbs in the city (more as a joke). No more than 5 seconds passed, than John offered us a ride into the city, to the library, where we are at this exact moment!
Stay tuned for reflections, bloopers, videos, and more!
