여행 팁
관습과 문화
Call First
Google, Yelp and online websites are not 100% reliable due to staffing and labor shortages, hunting/fishing season (yes, it's true) and holidays. If you want to make sure a place is open, call ahead.
여행 전에 기억할 점
Black Ball Ferry
If you're planning to travel to Victoria, Canada - which we highly recommend if you have your passport - we suggest booking, or at least checking availability, before you plan your trip.
준비물
Bring Layers
The weather forecast is not always predictable. If the forecast calls for rain, it could only rain for an hour, then be sunny or windy or both. Bring extra layers to stay comfortable.
