Visit to Vancouver Island (photo heavy)

After successfully navigating or way into Vancouver airport and the Car rental area, we returned the car, caught the train, then got a bus and then got the ferry and we were in Vancouver Island, where we were met by Audrey. Audrey's husband is in poor health at the moment so we were restricted in what we could do, but they have a lovely sun room on the back of their house and we were happy to sit and watch the birds in the garden and play with the cats!
We did have a drive around to Chemainus

and looked at the murals on the shop walls

loved this one

lots of interesting buildings 

Audrey took us to a secret garden and icecream shop

we all loved these carvings

Family ice cream outing

Lots of these were hanging along the street

One of Audrey's cats...Charlie...he was most friendly and got attached to Donna and wanted to come home with us!

I think that is probably enough for today!

More tomorrow.
