... the sand was hot and the waves were hypnotic. Aahhh, our vacation had truly begun!











At the West Coast Trail (WCT) visitor centre, we paid the $120 fee required for the four of us to be shuttled by ferry across two rivers along the trail. The ferry's are informal affairs operated by two of the local First Nations (the Ditidaht at Nitinat Narrows, and the Huu-ay-aht at Gordon ...

... offered 5 jobs last week, words obviously getting round of my greatness. Or my low low standards. So I spent the rest of last week data entrying! It was as dull as expected, and I clock watched the whole week, but at least I got paid. I also got accused of being an immigrant by my boss (English wasnt her first language and she got confused when I said I was from England, but not London!), which was nice. Sadly the fun ended Friday as my ...

... pizza shops with slices so big you could sleep on them, soup stands on the side of the road with all sorts of flavours...you name it, they've got it!! Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Middle-eastern, Spanish, English, Irish, Peruvian...even Australian (that would be steak!! Haha). And entertainment? There's comedy shows, famous revues, Broadway shows, off-Broadway shows, jazz, blues, concert, classical ...

... and I was let loose on the city. As per my usual routine I decided to walk around the city rather than take public transport or a tour bus. I ended up in a park near the lake (where a fair was taking place, raising money for MS suffers) and I continued to walk past the sport stadiums and into the centre of town. I feel sorry for the architects of this city - the surrounding landscape is so amazing and breath taking that no man made structure could really compete. I ...

9:30am: Got things ready for departure and went to the Princess representatives at our hotel to be told to come back at 11:30 because the ship was delayed coming into port due to stormy weather out of San Francisco. She said our ship would still be leaving on time but we wouldn't be transferred to it until about 1pm. So we used the internet and had a $6 bagel in the hotel restaurant. 11:30am: We were able to get our Princess cruise card and check in for embarkation at ...

... and CJ lives in an apartment with a bathtub that he discovered he could not use when water began leaking into his neighbors apartment one day. We decided that we were going to hang out in the tub with our swimsuits on and enjoy some bubbly and jets to relax later for Chewy's birthday. J.J. left us with his cell, just like Silvia had, and told us to call him if we needed any more champagne. We all kicked back on the King size bed and listened to Chewy's ...

... a few times and the arts and crafts market. The variety and beauty of the textiles was still amazing and we managed to choose a few things to bring home. Too many choices. Heather also purchased an embroidered purse from a mother and her child late one evening. They consented to having their picture taken which we have included. Some of the indigenous people look as though they could be from Nepal or Mongolia or ...
