Day 19—Astoria, Washington, to Victoria, BC, Canada!

We are on the ferry, and Lauren looks at me and says “I’m happy right now” we have made the last stretch to the ferry, life is good.

This morning we woke up in a motel. Hanging our gear paid off and everything is pretty much dry. We take our time and get away around 10:45. It’s a beautiful sunny morning, we do a little loop around the city and ride across the bridge.

Following hwy 101 is a little tricky. The route we want it the alternate and the sighs don’t really mention 101.

12 E, 108, 8 , I-5, eventual we find out way and around 12:00 break for lunch. Mmm Mc Donalds! We knew that to get to the ferry we needed to drive straight there, no real breaks. So we drove 3 hours, stopped quickly and chatted with a guy who owns the same bike, it was a much needed break, I think the first upgrade I do to this bike is a new more comfortable seat. Another 1.5 hours of driving and we reach the ferry terminal. A few other bikes are waiting already so we park the bike and after a short wait we load up.

So here we are sitting on the ferry waiting to arrive in Canada and see our families.

We had a great, somewhat sunny ride up to Port Angeles and are excited to be heading back to Victoria.

We have been in Victoria for five days, visiting family! It was awesome, and we are now back on the road. We are in Harrison Hot Springs, after our first day of riding. Heading up to Williams Lake area and will be writing more from there!
