Galiano Island

Sorry for not sending many updates, but JJ and I have been super busy with trips in the past two months and are just finding time to catch up. I'll start with our trip to Galiano Island, which started with an invite from Jonas and Monette to join them.

They alrady planned on sailing over from Vancouver on a Friday. Since they had all spots taken on their boat we took the car there instead. First lesson of the trip: If you make a ferry reservation better make sure it's correct. Well, I managed to make mine in the wrong order, wich made it invalid and all the times were wrong as well. This meant thet we were 4 hours early for the next ferry and trapped on the ferry terminal.

Lucky we managed to sneak out of the terminal (they don't like that) and catch a shuttle to the nearby Tsawwassen Mills mall.

After much delay we finally managed to set over and meet up with our friends for a glass of wine to end the night.

The official campground was already booked out, but they also had a overflow space that was perfectly fine. Here some pictures from the next morning to give you an idea:

The plan for Saturay was exploring the island with mopeds (JJ and I still ended up following along with our car). What follows are some pics from the island:
