The lodge worker ended up being a guy from New Zealand! We had a nice chat on the drive to Hope. It's raining again and the forcast for the mountains this week looks bad. Freezing rain, thunderstorms, wind and snow, glad we aren't out there right now.
He dropped us off at a Tim Hortons (Starbucks/dunkin doughnuts of Canada) where it took us two and a half hours to find a ride. And when we did it was only to Abbotsford, another hour closer but there would be more buses.
Booked a bus straight through to Victoria, where we are staying with a cousin of Em's.
Ferry was pretty. Haven't covered that many miles in one day in a long time. It has been a whirlwind of a day!
