Ferry to Port Hardy

Yesterday we took the BC ferry to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. We left Prince Rupert very early and arrived in Port Hardy about 11:30 pm. It was a long ride but pleasant, as Mike paid for extras like reserved seating and meals, plus a cabin. It made the ride easier. We also met a lovely Dutch couple with two small children and enjoyed talking to them. The scenery was gorgeous.  

Last night 's sunset was beautiful, too. 

Today we are walking. We took the hiking path into town. We have been warned that there are bear. (Warning - the following photo may be offensive to some). It is bear scat along the trail, right after I said to Mike that it looked like an animal had been munching on the bushes and berries on the trail. 

We head down the east coast of Vancouver Island tomorrow. Posting this in the local public library. I just love libraries!
