Today was a big day. We were getting closer to the end of our road trip and B & K were gifting us a 4 night stay in an ocean front property on Vancouver Island. We were all excited, even Benji, the Wonder Dog who was joining the four of us for this part of the trip.

We were booked on the 11:00 AM ferry to Vancouver Island, so shortly before 9:00 AM, we rolled up to B & K’s building to pick them up. Benji was excited and could hardly contain himself. We drove to the Tsawwassen area and let Benji out for some exercise and well, you know. It did not take us long to figure out that he was now in charge.

I thought you said there would be a boat involved.

Tsawwassen scnery?

The stop was next to an ice arena and the rink scrapings had been dumped in the parking lot. We were curious as to how Benji would respond. In short, he did not like cold and white. He was a West Coast dog, after all.

Exercise over, we headed for the ferry (separate post).

On the Victoria side of the crossing, we picked up lunch for everyone and then stopped in at Fada’s condo for a visit. Benji was allowed to sit in the conservatory and we each took turns sitting with him, as we visited.

HEY! I thought you said it was time to leave.

Visit over, we said our goodbyes and drove on toward Sooke Ocean Point Resort in East Sooke, our home for the next few nights. (separate post).

OK. So this is a 2 bedroom unit. Where am I going to sleep?

A DRESSER! You put my bed in a Dresser! How embarrassing. But, boy, is this cozy. I think I can get over it.

Well, this is certainly cozy. Where did you find the extra bed?
