Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Chilled.
Very chilled.
Only been here three days.
But it’s how I feel.
Hornby has that effect.
Anyway, dear reader, exciting news. The local shop sells. Wait for it.
Marmite.
I know. How excited can you be.
Not only a decent mug of hot Yorkshire Tea to start the day but also Marmite on hot buttered toast.
Am.
In.
Heaven.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end and as someone has to go to work in Vancouver tomorrow, time to go back to reality.
Leisurely morning includes a drive around the island including a whistle stop visit to the local gin distillery and Tribune Bay. Yet more insane views.
Late afternoon ferry to Vancouver Island via Denman Island. Takes an hour to travel a couple of miles as the crow flies.
Such is island life.
Quick dinner in Nanaimo at a chain restaurant whose female waitress employment policy is to be applauded. All are classy looking, slim and good looking, most with blonde hair, and all are wearing black leotard tops and black skirts. The men reading this are wondering where this restaurant is. The women reading this are tutting and huffing.
Yet another amazing sunset as we sail across to Vancouver.
Memorable few days on Hornby.
After Antarctica, it’s been the highlight of the trip.
Am a very lucky boy.
