Friday 13th August. Ah Gosh not written a blog for a while! Okay so we went to Hornby Island and had a great time - we met two guys from Seattle who came over to Vancouver Island for a long weekend. They were called Rod*** and Aaron. We partied on the beach with them all day and night and spent a few days there. We also went to the Hornby Island festival and had a magic time. Very strange lots of hippys dancing freely to quite a good band! Mike lost his fave sho...

We heard on the radio on our road trip that a 47 year old man was attacked by a bear in whilst he was sleeping in his tent. He wa...

Wednesday 21st July We are sick of waiting for the fog and cloud to clear in Tofino -it is grey and chilly. We darent get in the water when there is fog lying on top as it is the pacific ocean and the water is supposed to be freezing anyway! There are lots of surfers tackling the small waves here though.
