Edmonton to Victoria

There’s not much to say about these two days. Day 1 (Monday) I drove to Kamloops – a 9 hour endurance run. I didn’t feel like looking for a campsite, so I called Maureen and got a recommendation for a motel. It was not too expensive, comfortable and had wireless internet. It was also close to an Earl’s Restaurant that was OK. By the time I had supper I was too tired to go online.

Day 2 was easier. I left at 9:00, made the 2 PM ferry and was at M&B’s place by 4:15. The drive from Kamloops down into the Fraser River valley is very scenic.

I guess I was still pretty tired on day 2. I managed to drive through a changing red light on Blanshard Street in downtown Victoria and just missed being clipped by a small car crossing the intersection. Man, I was pissed at myself. Just writing about it now, has tensed me up. Fortunately no one was hurt; nor was any damage done, other than to my ego.
