Day 6 - Waddling Dog

There was a tinge of sadness as we viewed our last sight of the Strait of Georgia from our hotel bedroom in Campbell River. Nothing can ever match that view.
So, on to our next destination - Victoria. On the way we keep seeing bald eagles swooping overhead. We stopped off at Shawnigan Lake and found the local museum. Again, as in Port McNeil, it seemed that we were the only ones visiting the museum so we managed to get lots of attention from the curator providing insight to the origins of the growth of that particular area of the world.
Our next hotel is actually situated near the town of Sydney, further round the coast from Victoria and close to the ferry port that will assist in transporting us back to the mainland. The Waddling Dog is a relatively recently built building situated just off the main highway. The waddling dog is a Basset Hound, the current dog being named as John III. The building has been made to look like Olde English and I have to say it looks very effective throughout. Our room again has two queen beds and has black wooden beams and has plenty room for all four of us. Free WIFI access is again available for us to us which is very useful.
