We went on the most beautiful weekend, it was warm, sunny, blue sky… I could almost get passionate about it!
On the beach
I picked Heather up from work on Friday and off we went to Horseshoe Bay to catch the Ferry to Nanaimo where Heather’s parents live. I found a “European Delicatessen Warehouse” (run by Germans) the other day and I picked up some of my favorite chocolate, my favorite bread (sun flower bread) and a few other goodies we took with us. Friday night was very relaxed, we had supper and sat around the table and talked and ate goodies for the rest of the night.
The next morning we had the most beautiful savory pancakes with good ham&cheese. mmhhhhh yum!
We went for a long stroll along the beach which was absolutely fantastic! Simply being outside in the sun, enjoying the fresh air, letting the eye rest on the horizon, watch birds, starfish, fish, wobbly things all around the beach and just the fact of having a weekend off and being in the sun…
A beautiful day!
Victoria
We drove to Victoria in the afternoon, checked into our hotel and walked around town and went to an Italian restaurant which was absolutely delicious! The most beautiful pasta, garlic bread and the most amazing cheesecake! It would be boring to get the traditional cheesecake, it would be yummy, but traditional. Only getting the chocolate cheesecake would be too chocolaty. The way to go is mix them both together, and eat it in bed in the hotel. I’d say the one and only way to go!
Enough food talk, makes me hungry… Heather used to go to University in Victoria so she knew all the nice little places and could tell a bunch of stories. That’s another reason why I like couchsurfing or hanging out with locals so much. They know all the places where tourists would never go or tourist offices would not recommend and there are always fun stories!
We had a great weekend, in a couple of fabulous town and amazing weather!
Wouldn’t every wife love that?
