    Tofino

    September 25, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Great hike today thru Tofino (Victoria Island) wilderness.
    Pretty spot in North of island. Radar Hill and Conso Bomber Site (wear good waterproof boots or wellies as muddy) are good walks. Loop trail beautiful walk amongst the trees.

    Wouldn't want to be here when it is surf season....very commercialised with tourist season surf businesses, eateries and cafes.
    Definitely recommend Tacofino for food. Just out of town.
    Stayed at Fred Tibbs accommodation. Close to town and waterway. Well set up. Clean, tidy.

    September 3, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Vancouver was great. Stayed in 'Downtown' at the Sunset Apartments. Close to the waterfront, shops, cafes and restaurants and just across from Granville Island.
    We spent a day up at Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain. So nice to be able to get away from traffic and see Canada at its best. Huge tall pine trees, mountains, native birds, bears (behind s fence but still saw them), flowing rivers. We did the Cable Car and then ski chair lift. Pretty spectacular.
    The weather was amazing...very lucky. Sun shining, not a cloud in the sky.
    That night walked over the Granville Bridge and had dinner. A beautiful nite, good food, ferry ride back across the water and home absolutely exhausted.

    Today Wed...We caught the sky train to the airport. Great transport here. Easy to use.
    We caught a flight to Seattle (now that's an interesting airport...errr) and then connecting flight to Alaska- Juneau.

    Arrived on Juneau to be welcomed by blue skies, warmth and a mountain range that was awesone.

    We Booked into Juneau Hotel, walked around the water front to Alaska Fish and Chips. Had a yummo BBQ Salmon Burger. Picked up a few items at the best Foodland supermarket ever, then went back to our hotel for an early nite.

  • Canada Stopover

    September 3, 2019 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    15 hr stop over in Auckland from Perth to Vancouver. Shame about the Air NZ flight link...but was nice to have a nap and shower at the Novotel Airport Hotel.

    Nice brunch and coffee, quick walk around the airport to get some fresh air. Very industrial.
    Looking forward to getting to Vancouver
