The Cabin...2 rooms, kitchen/living room/dining room (one open space), loft area..sleeps 4 comfortably on the floor...
This was friday night...beautiful sunset from the front yard...Denman Island is where the cabin is...it is also where Goldie Hawn is!!!!!!!!!!! apparently...her Cottage/Cabin was 2 houses down...i didn't see her...but I left her a little note saying that I love her daughter and she's kinda cool i guess...LOL
We basically just chilled out..watched the beautiful sunset and saw the meteor shower!! I saw 20 shooting stars!!! amazing! i had never seen anything like it! sooo cool! I made the same wish 20 times...i hope it comes true :)
Saturday we headed to Hornby Island. It is a place that is stuck in the 70s. seriously. tie die shirts/hippy dresses/ artists making their own crap and selling it under umbrellas/ no pop, just natural stuff, men with long beards/ woman with no bras..LOL...a very hippy-ish feel on this island. Fun to visit...but i could never stay there for more than a day.
We went to the beach..swam in the ocean and headed back to Denman for dinner. A very relaxing weekend (but diiiirty cuz there's no running water in the cabin!)....Sunday morning we got up early and took the ferry back to Vancouver Island.
Overall, a wonderful trip on Vancouver Island from Tofino to Nanaimo...across the island...we saw beautiful sights and had great adventures...and still...i have not seen nearly a third of the Island's beauty....I must come back...next time ...with *you*
This was the beach on Hornby Island...perfect weather...i was in the sun for 2 hrs and didn't feel hot at all...didn't even get sun burnt...ofcouse...because i wore sunscreen :)
I forgot to mention...i went on a skiidooo...or seadoo...i dunno what its called..but it was FAST! holy smokes! I was hanging on for dear life...it felt like every turn we could flip over..or if i fell off i'd die cuz i'd bounce off the water so hard! ridiculous...soo much fun!!

Meh! Stuck in the 70's, my ass! We've got some of the most innovative community programs and involvement of anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe recycling depot is a model for any city and attracts planners from all over.
Our new health care clinic is entirely island funded and built with exclusively volunteer labour. Make THAT happen anywhere else.
Those dudes with the long beards... They're the city hipsters that invade our island every summer looking trying to fit into some sort of counter culture.
And get off those jet-skis for Christ's sakes. They're a goddamn blight on the oceans and lakes.
