My First Nanaimo Kayak Adventure

We paddled in Departure Bay, the same place the ferries come and go. I sat up front and enjoyed the ride while Harry's brother-in-law paddled his ass off. We were almost attacked by a rabid dog. That was the closest thing to wildlife that I saw.
Then I went out with Harry and he paddled his ass off. We saw some seals and they were just the cutest things.....i couldnt believe it
We also some some giant sea gulls, some Canada Geese and some cormorants (which is like a web-footed crow with an orange beak).
It was a wonderful day and so much fun, great to see someone else doing all the work while i sat back and got chauffered along...:)

Goats On The Roof

We travelled to Coombs today. It is famous for its Goats On The Roof. It reminds me of a hippy village whose inhabitants are still smoking something. But you do not have to smoke anything to see goats on the roof. They are real - I think.

Lacrosse

My very first lacrosse game...pretty exciting, Nanaimo Timbermen defeated Langley by One goal, some pretty motivating music and a few good brawls.......atmosphere was great, but I think i drove Harrybear nuts with my never ending questions and "whats happining now?"..why they doing that?......but he was very patient with me...thanks Harrybear

Nanaimo I is Here - Heaven Help You

From the B.C. Ferry Queen of Cowichan, the little fishing boats in the harbour, to my hippy dippy shagging wagon (which I am bringing home to Oz), Nanaimo is a pretty special place. 4 degrees at home, 30 degrees here woo hoo you little rippa.
Harry took me around town, and unfortunately the hippy dippy shop was closed - Harry said that he did not know it closed so early and that it was such a shame. Do I believe him?

Leaving Vancouver For Vancouver Island

After a very long trip I arrive, i never knew there were so many different types of transport, a bus, a sky train, a sea bus, Blue Bus and a Ferry(as big as the Titanic) ..... geeeze, trains ,buses, ferries....my first impression of this place, it had a familiararity about it that I cant explain, very very beautiful, kinda like all your fave places rolled into one... and a great picture of a thumb.

Melbourne Airport
