July 06 : Vancouver Island


Another 4 days come and gone...went to Vancouver Island, what a relaxing trip...not like the Rockies trip, touch and go and so hectic

Tofino is beautiful and we have a great hostel with beautiful lounge and dining room which overlook the sea and guess what? My room is just right above the dining room meaning I have a good view too...a very small town where you can stay 2 days but perhaps not more than that

Except my roommates have to have the blinds down as they do not want to be awaken by the morning light...

Went whale watching but not sure why, I slept a lot on the zodiac, everyone was surprised how I can do that with the zodiac bobbing up and down, search me too

Anyhow, we have a great tour guide this time round, he looks a bit like Huge Grant from certain angles. Although I don't like Huge Grant but this guide of mine is just so funny and cute, it's hard not to like him. Apparently he seems to have just fallen out of love and you could see his occasionally depressed mood if you glimpsed at him for he will not show us that mood of his...you could however see him checking his cellphone most of the time...

Victoria..provincial capital of British Columbia...quaint and tourisy but beautiful as well...although the beaches are dirty and not much sand...on a good day, you can see US...ships go to Seattle and Victoria everyday, not a very long journey so one can go to Seattle from Victoria...definitely a cheap and hustle free way

Again not a city where you need to stay very long...some homeless people and druggies hang out on the streets too but lesser than Vancouver, surprise surprise

Flying back to San Frans tomorrow...more shopping yeahhhh...
