So we left Nanaimo this morning to head south to Victoria for the day and then end up in Sooke.
Now the thing about our place in Sooke is that it is called The Forest House, and it is in the forest so our Internet access is non existent. There is a wireless signal but it is weak an date connection is not happening...and that is great!
Soon expect no further updates from us until we settle back into Nanaimo on Wednesday evening. We will post about our happenings on the Pacific side of the Island when we get back onto the superhighway.
Until then here is the abridged version of yesterday and today:
Yesterday
Went to the beach on a mountain lake in Nanaimo in the morning
Had a lazy afternoon at our home base
Dad and the two oldest went to see the movie Brave
BBQ on the deck of chicken and hot dogs, and made sundaes
Mom and Dad drank a bottle of wine on the deck
Today
Left Nanaimo heading south to Sooke
Went to aquarium in Victoria
Ate lunch at a soda shoppe and ordered and banana split, Dad ordered a pineapple fizzie (soda)
Drove to mile zero of the Trans Canada highway and saw statue of Terry Fox
Fed 'wild' harbor seals at the marina in Oak Bay. Only $1.99 for a bag of frozen fish heads!
Drove to Sooke, checked into cabin, ate supper on a patio by the ocean, bought some groceries, and came back and went to bed.
Whew!
We will add buckets of pictures and details of the Pacific coast soon!
