Did the 230km drive from the east coast to the west coast of Vancouver Island.

Ended up is Port Renfrew and managed to squeeze in 9km of the Juan de Fuca Marine trail. Similar to the Otter in SA.

Absolutely breathtaking. This and the Wild Pacific Trail is on the bucket list.

And we will have to come back.

Vancouver Island is worth the visit and I'm disappointed that my planning only allowed 4 days 😔

Life 2.0:  “We have such a long way to go.”
               “Yes, but look how far we’ve come.”

Tonight, we are sitting on the patio of our cabin in Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We have reached the most western point of our Canadian Traverse. The 7 116km travelled in the “Super Mobile” does not tell the full story - in the past 28 days we have:

Flown by plane : 21 423km
Driven by car : 7 116km
Ferry ride: 114km
Hiked various trails: 135km
Train ride : 84km

Small increments, day by day….

As from tomorrow we officially start the journey back to Toronto. Another 6 000km plus to go.

This resonates deeply at a time when kindness seems out of reach. At some point the boy is discouraged by the distance they still have to travel.

“We have such a long way to go.” sighed the boy.

Sometimes, whether in life, a journey or our project, we must just take a moment to reflect.
