Day 11...Homeward Bound

After breakfast we checked out of the hotel and boarded the new bus.  The north of  Vancouver Island has been home to lots of logging and there still is quite a bit going on.  We saw railroad bridges crossing over the highway.  Apparently they used railcars to get their logs to the coast where they could dump them in the water and tow them to their destination.

We stopped at a park/rest area for awhile.

Next stop was Campbell River for lunch.  We stopped in an area where there were several restaurants.  We decided on Wendy's.

After we ate we went for a walk and took some pics of the harbour and the ferry landing to go over to Quadra Island.

Next stop was the ferry terminal in Nanaimo where we boarded the ferry for Horseshoe Bay.

Ahhh….there's Vancouver.  There was a cruise ship leaving port.

We took Hwy 1 to Coquitlam, dropped some passengers off.  Taxis were waiting to take them home.  Next stop, Walnut Grove in Langley.  Last stop was Cascades Casino in Langley.  The folks from Kamloops and the Okanagan got to stay at the casino overnight.  They will get on a bus tomorrow morning but we had a taxi waiting to take us to our home.  We got home about 7:30 pm.  It was a remarkable trip but it's good to be home!!
