Do you suppose I'm right in thinking it will be near-impossible to find a reasonably priced hotel for a night in Victoria BC on a July weekend with 1 day's notice?
Turns out no, the less sure thing turns out to be the ferry since we can't book for tomorrow I guess.
Send things for me and my parents to do this Saturday in Victoria. especially near the inner harbour.

Ferry lesson: When you're waiting in line and the announcement says get back in your car, do so even if you were told you wouldn't make this sailing.

Signed - We were one of the last 5 cars on the boat, and our line had to go around 3 vehicles sitting empty.
