Said good-bye to the log cabin and headed off to Nanaimo. At Nanaimo we left (ferry) by a small hamlet called Departure Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Departure Bay is a bay in central Nanaimo, British Columbia, on the east coast of Vancouver Island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The surrounding neighbourhood is also referred to as “Departure Bay”\u2014once a settlement of its own, it was amalgamated into the City of Nanaimo in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nanaimo will be our jumping off point for our ferry trip back to Vancouver. We boarded the Queen of Coquitlam at 13.00, and docked at Horseshoe Bay at 14.45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horseshoe Bay is a community of about 1,000 permanent residents, located in West Vancouver, in the Canadian province of British Columbia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Situated on the western tip of West Vancouver at the entrance to Howe Sound, the village marks the western end of Highway 1 on mainland British Columbia (and furthermore the main route of the Trans-Canada Highway on the Canadian mainland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caught a taxi back to Granville Island to pick-up two suitcases we left prior to Vancouver Island, then headed off to the Hyatt Regency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Arrived spot on for the 4pm check-in, dumped the bags, admired the view from the 29th floor, and sourced some tickets for the nights hockey game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grabbed the free canapes and drinks from the lounge on our floor, then headed off to the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last time we were in town to watch the hockey, the Vancouver Canucks, they lost to a sudden death playoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/forkfultrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200118_190854.jpg\")
