Today we were no longer with the group and making our own way back to Vancouver. The group wouldn't arrive in Vancouver (at the airport) until 5pm and so we made our own arrangements to catch a coach across on the ferry and then into downtown Vancouver. This was a much better option as Andrew was able to pick us up at 11.30am downtown.
Some last minute photos of Victoria, (capital of British Columbia - also known as BC) there is a lack of people & traffic at 7:45am.
The ferry leaves Vancouver Island.
As you can see, it is a bit foggy, we are finally getting to experience the normal Vancouver weather.
Heading into Tsawwassen.
Andrew picked us up and it was a bit drizzly. We went back to the house and said a quick hello to Mick & Brenda and dropped off our bags.
We then had lunch with Lindsay & Andrew at Honey's in Deep Cove.
The views at Deep Cove, with the normal 'Rain'couver weather - raining today.
Brenda was amused that John was taking pictures of squirrels. With all the wildlife we had seen we still got excited watching it run across the back deck and up into the trees.
After spending a bit of time with Andrew & Lindsay they both had to go off to work at 3pm. The company Andrew is working for is working at a college fixing up lights so the work needs to be done after hours. Lindsay was working with Melissa, one of her special clients whom she helps. We were not able to catch up with the Raffas as Carmen is now in Holland on an exchange year student program, David was unwell and Louise (after spending time with Carmen in Iceland was in Boston and won't arrive home until Friday night after we have left) and Rachel was out. 
So we went took the opportunity of taking Mick & Brenda (our bed and breakfast hosts) to Marina Side Grill at Lynwood Marina.The view from the Marina Side Grill with Second Narrowest Bridge (also known as Ironworkers Bridge) in the background. Lovely food and company.
This is the gps track for our trip - most of this is the same for the tour - except for the Kamloops, Banff & Calgary section. Some of the tour group did the Wiseman trip, above the Arctic Circle.
