Lisa's Canadian adventure
Hello!!!!! Sorry for the drunken entry last night, but couldnt help myself!!! Woke up today at 9am feeling pretty ok, surprisingly!!!! Sorry not really updated my journal for a few days, but been mad busy!!! Got picked up from Vancouver by the tour on Tuesday where we made our way over to Tofino. The guys on the bus are really cool and mostly from the UK. What a laugh we all had getting to know one another on the bus, singing and stuff!!! Stopped off at a beautiful waterfall, Sproat lake (where we had lunch and swan in the lake), and at this amazing beach, which I cant remember the name of, but you will be able to see it when I can eventually get my pictures on the computer!!! Arrived in Tofino (which is a little town at the other end of the Island from Victoria) aroung 8pm, so never really did much as we were all shattered. The hostel there was like a palace compared to my last hostel!!! It was like being in a big happy family, everyone socialising and eating together and the views from the hostel were amazing!! The next day (Wednesday) we went bear watching and whale watching in the morning (saw 2 black bears and 2 killer whales!!) and then took a boat ride to hot springs cove, where we bathed in hot springs in the mounatins, was absolutley amazin, so was the boat, it was like being on a roller coster!!! I then tryed my hand at Kayaking, which was hard work but amazing as we went round all the little islands of Tofino, spotting lots of wild life along the way. After that we had a BBQ and then headed to the karaoke (yeh, you can imagin the smile on my face when I heard they had karaoke!) and danced the night away, oh and they were all impressed with my singing!! We then headed from there on Thursday (with a sore head) and made our way to Victoria (capital of BC). We stopped at Long beach, which was beautiful!! Walked along the length of the beach, paddling in the water, was so peacful, wait till you see the photos. We also stopped of at Cathedral Grove which is a forrest with 800 year old trees, was realy cool to see and explore. We then stopped of in a place called Kooms, which has a building with grass and goats living on the roof, yeh living on the roof!! Arrived in Victoria at aroung 7 yesterday and headed straight out to a meditaranian restraunt with the group, and then to a few bars and clubs (hence why I was drunk last night!) The night was wicked, everyone is a great laugh. We were doing the Konga round the club and then had a dance of with the Canadians and bounced about to proclaimers 500 miles!!!! Me and Gary ( other Scottish guy won the dance of, cany beat the proclaimers and the Scottish!).
Today we went for a stroll round Victoria, and went on a boat trip. This place is amazing. If I was to come over to Canada to work I would definitley want to live in Victoria, its so beautiful and has loads to see and do, with plenty of good bars and clubs. Got loads of touresty pictures with bears and mooses!!!
Been having an absolute ball. Getting on really well with everyone and quite enjoying staying in hostels, its made me a lot more laid back. Just back in Vancouver just now, joining tour again on Monday to go to whistler and the rockies, so cant wait for that. Gonna do more sight seeing in Vancouver tomorrow with some of the girls I've met and meeting up with all the guys from the tour tomorrow night in Vancouver to go for a meal and some drinks as most of that group is going home and we will be joining a new group on Monday (more people to get to know!!). Theres definatley lots of eye candy for all those that are so eager to know!!!
