Elahe and I caught a morning ferry to Salt Spring Island and checked out several locations around the island, including Ganges town (pictured above) and Fernwood Point Wharf (pictured below). We checked out Salt Spring Cheese, sampling their wares, and ended up enjoying delicious mango and chocolate goat milk gelato. The Salt Spring Brewing Company's tasting room was the perfect place to eat our packed lunch with a delicious flight of four beers. We took an afternoon ferry to Pender Island where we checked into Poets Cove Resort for a wonderful two night stay in an ocean view room. We had dinner at HUB at Hope Bay on my birthday. We very much enjoyed having the outdoor hot tub for our private use. We had a much more comprehensive look around Bedwell Harbour, and spent a leisurely morning enjoying the view with coffees on our patio. We had savoury crepes for lunch at Slow Coast Coffee. We spent time exploring the island's many sites: Gowland Point, Mortimer Spit, Hope Bay, and hiking Mount Norman. Before heading back to the resort, we decided to check out "downtown" and have double burgers at Copper Otter. We had the hot tub all to ourselves again on night number two. The highlight of our final day on Pender was the Oaks Bluff hike. We continued to explore Pender Island and hiked some other trails, including Mt. Menzie, before enjoying fish, chips, and beer with a view at the Port Browning Marina Pub in front of Hamilton Beach. Before heading to the ferry to the mainland, we decided to grab a quick coffee from Vanilla Leaf Cafe. We then unexpectedly met long time friends of my parents on the ferry, so I had a nice extended visit with Marg and Chris Brown.
