On the road from Port Renfrew to Chemainus. Pretty little towns, long empty mountain tracks and the occasional logging trucks. Oh and a random bonsai tree growing out of a log in a lake.
Next stop Duncan.
We stopped for coffee and a toilet break HERE
What a relaxing stay in beautiful scenery. Back to civilisation tonight with a 2 hrs drive to get there and 25 degree temperatures- a bit different to the 15 here this morning!
Like a scene from an apocalyptic movie or the land that time forgot, the beach across from the accommodation looks somewhat unworldly and barren, shrouded in sea fret for 90% of the day.
Out for a black and white photo shoot (what other type is there), with my very own Rachel Welch (only wearing a few more clothes tho).
Beatiful scenery and some amazing driftwood can be found HERE
With all this lovely sunshine the solar is pretty much paying for itself, in the last week we have exported 1.210 times more electricity than we have actually used. Now I know it has been unusually sunny, but we ain’t complaining (especially since you get paid for each KWh you export).
All houses should be built with this as standard.
A wonderful drive out today from Victoria to cover the 92 kilometres to Port Renfrew on the twisty and bumpy BC-14. It’s a hell of a road through a tree covered area with ups, downs, sweeping bends and tight corners. Stopping at Sooke we found a small Sushi restaurant and stocked up on food.
Arriving at Port Renfrew for our restful couple of days beside the Pacific Ocean in a sheltered bay. Complete with pub on the doorstep and our own deck, awesome view and fire pit.
Tomorrow a chance to just chill
A nice early start, out to the gym and then hitting the road to Port Renfrew via Langford and a Harley Store for T-Shirts in Langford and a little known place called Sooke.
Next stop Shirley and then onto Port Renfrew.
A half day out to the Pacific in search of whales. We managed to catch a family of Orcas (my precious) and a humpback before heading back to port for food.
Bonjour from Victoria, a small semi busy city, with lots of noise, lots of smells and lots of “wackybacky!”. We got 2 days here to explore and I think we done most of it already.
Mrs Fogg as ever did her usual sterling research to find some fine dining, raw oysters at a small bar and then a small but friendly Chinese restaurant for a taste of Yunan, buried deep in the heart of China Town (well it’s actually just one street).
Today more walking miles around and more food past the plethora of Irish bars.
