We had prebooked passage on the early ferry back to the states. With our hotel sitting directly across from the terminal, it was easy for us to be the very first car in line for boarding.
The Coho ferry arrived, we boarded, and soon were on our way back to the United States.
The peaks of the Olympic Mountains loomed ahead as we left Victoria’s harbor.
After about 90 minutes afloat, we arrived in Port Angeles, cleared customs and were on our way south along the Olympic Peninsula to Olympia. From there, we headed down I-5 toward Oregon. We crossed into Portland with plenty of traffic to keep us company..
We continued south to Salem, where we stayed in yet another Days Inn. Nothing fancy here, but it was clean and comfortable.
That night we headed out to a local seafood restaurant for a tasty dinner.
