We headed into Victoria and bought tickets for the 3pm ferry
to Port Angeles (yes, the Port Angeles from Twilight…). We were allowed to park
in the loading lanes because the previous sailing had left, so we had plenty of
time to explore the docks area. Victoria is very much like Hobart – docks,
restaurants and Victorian style weatherboard houses round the harbour. We had
to be back at the RV at 1.30 for the immigration and customs checks.
There was a market going on at the waterfront, and we
stopped to watch a female street entertainer and her stand up comedy routine.
Steve got roped in to be an assistant with the show – it was very funny. She
pulled four guys out of the audience and got them to hold props, hold a big bag
that she got changed inside, and finally form a human pyramid for her to stand
on to juggle flaming torches. She picked on Steve a lot, but he took it all in
very good humour and played along with it. Some of the audience were asking Ros
if he was an actor, and didn’t believe that we were innocent tourists! LOL.
After that, we pottered around the markets enjoying the
sunshine until it was time to go back for our passport inspection and boarding.
The trip across was good, a bit choppy, but the boat was very stable. We read
books and looked out the window for the 90 minute crossing.
Arriving at Port Angeles and more customs! Then we parked up
and did a quick walk along the main street to look at the locations from the Twilight
series. We checked out the Lincoln Theatre, where Bella and friends go to the
movies, Bella Italia, where Bella and Edward had dinner, and the Department
store where Bella and her girlfriends went shopping for prom dresses. It was a
bit of fun.
We then checked out an RV park, but it was hideous so we
opted to park in the carpark at Safeways (Supermarket) for the night. How bogan
are we? We redeemed ourselves slightly by doing some grocery shopping in there
first. Wild salmon fillets for dinner. Yum.
