Vancouver Island Trip - Day 9

We got up really early, threw all of our gear in the truck and checked out of the rental house.  We hit the road for the one hour drive to Nanaimo, aiming to be there before 8:00AM, so that we could catch the 8:40 ferry across to Horseshoe Bay.  We were there in time, but being a Saturday, the ferry was really busy.  It was filled before we got to the front of the line and we had to wait nearly three hours for the next one.  This put us a little behind schedule to say the least.
Once we finally got off the ferry we pounded the road all the way back to Rob's place in Vernon.  I was getting a little drowsy by afternoon so Rob took a turn driving over the Coquahala and on into Kelowna.  We arrived at Rob's place in the early evening.
Rob's wife Monique had put together a nice supper for us of lasagna and salad and we got that on the go and settled down for the evening.  This was our last evening of visiting as Brad and I would pack up and head home to Edmonton in the morning.
