Vesuvius Ferry Terminal

If you got to get back to Crofton, and your on Salt Spring Island, this is your only way to go, and this is where I came from to go back to my little lodge. It’s as basic as can be for a ferry terminal, small little kiosk for coffee, cars waiting between drawn lines for a small ferry to take them across the water. If you’ve only been to the big terminals (Horeshoe Bay, Tsawassen, Langdale, etc.) your in for a treat, or a shock, as this terminal is tiny, with a small one lane wooden like bridge leading into the small ferry that docks to this port while you get on.
Talk about bringing back the 80’s, this thing probably is older than that, and brings you back to a simplier time getting on a ferry, heck, even the ferry is nice an old, open top where your car sits on, and not the huge hunkers going from Tsawassen to Vancouver Island. You also know if your going to make it to the ferry or not, by where your waiting at this terminal, if your on the road and not in the painted lines waiting for the ferry, well, your probably waiting an hour for the next one.
A very pleasant experience, as I thought I wouldn’t get on back to Crofton, this was a memorable experience, and it takes you out of your comfort zone, seeing heavier trucks cross the same bridge your about to cross boarding the ferry, wondering, «is this safe?» well they have been doing this for how long, and when are you going to get a chance to cross this again, unless you live around these parts!
