This blog will be a recollection of our 30 day trip from Vancouver Island back to our home in Pickering, Ontario. We arrived in Victoria, B.C. by Ferry from Port Angeles, Washington. After exploring the Island for a few days, we took another ferry to the mainland. After enjoying time in B.C., we travelled around Alberta. We followed the Trans Canada Highway through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, finally returning to Ontario. Coming north and then east around Algonquin Park, we drove south to our home in Pickering.
