We were quite late with the holiday planning. Not before New Year’s Eve we decided on Canada at the request of our son. That was already quite late, as all planned trips of the previous years were postponed to this summer due to the two Corona years before. We caught one of the last existing vehicles at Fraserway. When booking the campsites, I had to be quick. Often the last free sites were already gone 5 minutes after the opening of the booking window. I did not manage to reserve two of our desired sites, although I pressed on time 4pm on the booking button.
I expected lot of crowds, which is not really our thing.
Due to the reported chaos at the airport, we planned 3.5 hours for check-in and security check as we not even needed 20 minutes through security. At the check-in we only had to wait because the counter opened only 3 hours before boarding. Thanks to "Frequent Traveler" we were able to use the business desk and thus skip the long queue of waiting people. Amazingly, none of my luggage was subjected to a special check.
As expected, the night was short. More precisely, at 4am I was awake. But also in Canada there is coffee in the rooms.. We were able to take a small breakfast “to go” at the coffee bar in the entrance area of the hotel. The hotel's restaurant was closed. In general, the hotel made a rather empty impression.
The Fraserway shuttle picked us up on time (I had booked the first shuttle with Fraserway by phone a few days before), and thanks to prior express check-in, the formality went very quickly.
Today there was only a fast and simple breakfast, because the day was fully planned with stop overs. Too much, as it turned out.
We did not take the TCH, which has its starting point here in Victoria, but the coastal road # 17 where some worthwhile destinations should be found.
