This morning I brought a pipe with me down to the water front to have a bit of quiet time. I brought my Peterson pipe loaded up with a tobacco that had a bit of coffee flavouring. Delicious. It was nice to just be by the water and hear it ‘lapping’ up against the shore. Visually beautiful along there. If I lived there, that would be a morning routine spot for sure. Gorgeous. Then, I went to pick up some breakfast for Jeanne and I. I went to Ricky’s All Day Grill Pancake House and bought a couple of breakfasts. I brought them home and she was in the living room sipping on the coffee that I had made before I left. She was very surprised with the breakfast. Scrambled eggs, rye toast, buttermilk pancakes, bacon, ... read more

Good morning! Woke up this morning in my sister’s apartment in Vancouver. Had a fresh shower and got dressed. She made us some coffee and we’re now getting things ready to go in the car and drive to Horseshoe Bay and the ferry terminal to catch the ferry to Gibsons, BC. The ferry line up was fierce, but we had reservations so that made it better. Lots of traffic getting out of Vancouver over the Lion’s Gate Bridge, put us behind a wee tad, but we made it to Horseshoe Bay in time. We were loaded quickly onto the ferry and left only ten minutes late; not too bad. I was hungry (time change still affecting me) so I opted for some breakfast. It was delicious. We walked around the boat a little bit and snooped ... read more

Wir haben vier unvergessliche Tage im Wilderness Resort & Retreat Centre verbracht. Von Vancouver gelangten wir mit dem Bus zur Horseshoe Bay, von da mit der Fähre nach Langdale, weiter mit dem Bus nach Sechelt und danach mit dem Taxi zur Tillicum Bay Marina. Dort wurden wir mit einem kleinen Motorboot abgeholt. Eine dreissig minütige, aufregende und abenteuerliche Fahrt über das Meer stand uns bevor. Unser Trip in die Wildnis startete genial und ich hätte nie geglaubt, dass die folgenden Tage mit einem Highlight nach dem Anderen getoppt werden würden. Das Resort liegt abgelegen in einem Fjord, in diese Gegend kommt man nur über den Meeresweg. Totale Wildnis, totale Unberührtheit, eine gigantische Vielzahl von Wildlife (Robben, zahlreiche Vogelarten u.a. Adler und Eulen, Haie, Wale, Bären, (ungiftige) Schlangen, Streifenhörnchen etc.), null Luftverschmutzung (in der Nacht wird es ... read more

ARB & DWS Canadian Adventure number 2 Following the departure from Canmore of Rachel and Pippa after lunch on Monday we had a 2 bedroom/bathroom apartment all to ourselves for the rest of the week and plenty to explore. The hot weather continued most of the week, with the odd thunderstorm & slight shower mainly at night. (sorry we can’t send some sunshine to the UK) We walked, swam, smooched around, just enjoying being in this beautiful place with so many helpful locals. When they say ‘you’re welcome’, they really mean it. So far, we have only met one grumpy Canadian; time yet for more ? At 8am on Friday (before breakfast) we were taken on a ‘power walk’ by a UK girl student from Grange over Sands. A lovely teenager by the name of ... read more
