Just passing through
From Round the world in 365 days in Seattle, United States on Aug 13 '06
Nothing major to report here. After the usual 'random' security checks for me (I'm beginning to get a little suspicious at this point) we flew to Seattle. Arrived in Tacoma International to find that we had about half an hour to get across town to board the Clipper - the ferry to Vancouver Island. After a bit of rushing around we made it though, and sat back to enjoy a trip on the fastest boat I've ever seen.
We took a wander up on deck, and as you would expect, it was pretty windy. With everyone inside the boat watching us, Nicky and I started a competition to see who could lean furthest into the wind - oh how we laughed when she fell right over and had to walk back through the boat with everyone around us sniggering.
Arrived in Victoria to be met by Theresa - Mike's former housemate and friend of all this lot, but that's a story for another blog...
