Blogs from Tofino, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, North America - page 5

Vancouver island. 15 bis 18 juni 2007 Am 15 juni machten wir uns, gemeinsam mit drei weiteren kollegen (Angela , Fredy und Yvonne auf den weg nach Vancouver Island. Genauer gesagt nach Tofino, dem Surferparadies von Kanada. Wir mieteten ein Auto bei Rent-a-Wreck in Nanaimo!:-) Das ist relativ günstig und vor allem vermieten diese auch Autos an unter 25-jährige. Und da wir alle unter 25 jahre alt sind war dies fast die einzige Option.(Was noch zu sagen ist ,dass die Autos von Rent-a-Wreck in relativ gutem Zustand sind und nicht einem Wreck gleichen). Nachdem wir das Auto gefasst haben und eingekauft hatten gings auf den Weg nach Tofino, welches auf der anderen Seite der Insel ist (Die Insel ist immerhin 31 000 km2 gross) durch Wälder und Berge erreichten wir nach ca. 3 stunden Auto ... read more

UntitledNoel Wigdor Well here we go again. I very recently finished a painfully long, unbelievably rainy school year and have decided on my summer plans. A couple months back I acquired a motorcycle and am planning to live out of the saddlebags for the summer on a trans North America trip (Mexico? hmmmm....). Just this last week, though, I started things off with a trip to Vancouver Island. I left last Friday with the bike loaded up, the highlights being my unbelievably cute french girlfriend and a tent. The original plan (more on the "original" part later...) was to drive from Vancouver to Tofino, camp until monday, then drive Delphine (the name of the french girl, not the bike...) back to Vancouver in time to tie up loose ends and hop on a plane to New ... read more

Ahhhh...lazy days. Sometimes they are just what a body needs. Looking over my last few entries, I have come to the conclusion that they are actually pretty boring. So I am going to try my hardest to make this one witty and amusing and just about the best damn blog you've ever read. I'm a little worried thouh, because I might just find out that in reality I am not that witty of a person, like I like to think of myself as. Let me start out by saying that I think Jeannie might just be loving this trip mainly for the fact that I have had no voice the whole time. She is loving this larangitis (sp?) thing. The only drawback is that it comes with furious fits of coughing spells that last about3 minutes ... read more

Here's to another beautiful day in paradise. We woke up this morning to a very thick fog (how Tofinoesque!) and a blanket of mist. It was the thickest mist I have ever seen. It felt like waling through a cloud. It was a little bizarre, as everything was quite wet, but no real rain. That cleared up pretty quickly though, and although it's still cloudy and foggy, it's also very warm. I love what the humidity does to my hair and skin! It's almost worth putting up with the clouds. Jeannie and I woke up late, and had to rush to get ready for the big race on time. It was the quickest we got ready since Jeannie got to my place. I think I will add here that it is a truly different experience travelling ... read more
