A short blog this week as we are on holiday without a laptop. We are writing this on a phone with pretty poor signal, so not sure it will make it to you anyway… The campsite we are in claims to have WiFi near the reception, so perhaps that will save us! Also, please excuse any typos.
We took a week off work to visit Vancouver Island again. Our plans to work on the farms we stayed at when we first arrived in Canada proved logistically challenging, so instead we have had a relaxed week with only a few plans.
We caught the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria (the same ferry we first caught in Feb 2020) and spent a couple of days camping just outside the city. On Sunday we met up with a friend we made on Gabriola (she was another volunteer) who now lives and works in Victoria. It was great to see her! Even if her cat did not get on well with Rosie…
Next, we had a couple of nights in an Airbnb near Nanaimo where we did nothing expect going to the pub for lunch! Rosie didn’t even take any pictures.
The longest part of our trip was to Tofino. We visited here before (March 2020) and did some walking and watched some surfing. This time, we booked lessons and managed to catch some waves ourselves! On both trips, we have been very lucky with the weather as Tofino is known for epic storms and rain.
We are planning to head back home tomorrow and are looking forward to a quiet Sunday back in rainy Vancouver.

That’s a very strange very low rainbow you photographed from the ferry.
I’m sure Lucy could give you extensive instruction on surfing technique, given her Cornwall experience.

Actually quite impressed with the surfing pictures! Especially the ones where Rosie is upright and striking a very good surfer pose! Also like the one with the giant wave – “What wave, where?”…It’s behind you!!
