Vancouver Island - epic

After weeks of torturous organizing of flights and itineraries, selling furniture and getting vaccinations, we have landed in B.C. and we are staying with the Browns in Victoria, on Vancouver island. The air is fresher and the scenery is phenomenal!

We sadly left our friends behind in Toronto. It's easier to leave than to be left behind. Steve, Ash, Gabi, Elaine, Emma, Katie, Miranda, Richelle and Rhian, and of course the Bruces! I am sure we will see them all again in the coming years. They made our experience so much better.

We drank the remainder of our alcohol on the balcony before we went to the airport. Our baggage is ridiculous and we have decided to shed 50 to 60% of our stuff because we can't be hauling all that around. Lesson learned.

The ferry to the island was epic. Mountains an lakes all surrounded by trees. Now we are in Browns living room having a relax. Good buzz. They live on a lake and have a great view. Aftaw bruddaw. It's a bit like the scenery in the movie 'The Edge'!
