Day 7 of our #BoxsterRoadTrip.
We got up at an indecent hour to get in the queue by 7:15 am for the 10:30 am CoHo Ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles, WA. So, here is our observation. It would have actually been easier to take the BC Ferry back to Vancouver and drive to Seattle from Canada. The BC Ferry is way nicer than the CoHo Ferry, less stressful, and the drive would have been about the same. The CoHo Ferry packed the cars in like sardines in a can and there was barely enough room to squeeze out of your car door before the next car was crammed in next to you. We were concerned about dings. Even though our Boxster is an early 1998 (one of the first ones delivered in California), is has virtually no dings and we work hard to keep it that way. So if you are going to take a car ferry to Victoria, seriously consider the BC Ferry.
Once on the Ferry, the trip was smooth sailing and we said goodbye to Victoria and hello to Washington. We were still sleepy from having gotten up so early, so we skipped the Olympia National Park and headed straight for Seattle. Well, not exactly straight, as there is no direct way to get from Port Angeles to Seattle. You have to either take another Ferry (no thanks) or drive around the Sound. It was about a 3 hour drive from the arrival dock to the Bed and Breakfast Inn Seattle where we are staying. And, since Jo was driving, there had to be bridges. Several of them!
This evening we went to Rock Creek Seafood & Spirits for dinner. It was excellent!
Tomorrow we tour Seattle.
The journey continues. . .
You just hit 3 of my favorite cities. Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. What a great start!
