The Best Clawfoot Tub Shower Curtain Rods

Again, the idea was to start early, to embark for Vancouver Island on the ferry at 7 am, so we put the alarm at 5 30 am for breakfast and say goodbye to Oscar did not know if I saw him or not as it was to buy a return ticket Uruguay. But when the alarm went to shut it off May 30 and said 5 more .... And in those other 5 minutes began to consider as we'd gone to bed at 1 after eating some homemade gnocchi I were pretty good or so they said, and after a good ice cream stayed up late talking and rambling, and as there was no rush to get to the island and we thought we stay there for at least 5 or 6 days, turn off the alarm and continue sleeping.

homemade gnocchi, which delight !!!!! the only thing that was not played to 29 or
Quinela

dawn ended at 8 45 am, and for when we finished breakfast and put everything in bags and in the van by the way I take the time to "clean up" in the afternoon we spent at the home of Oscar, we headed to the supermarket, then to the bakery Cinnamon Rolls for more than we had been to win the day earlier and good bread. And from there towards the ferry terminal.

I forgot to mention that I finally found what the loss I have in the truck, the steering pump when I bend the direction of the strip up the stream of liquid but I buy the bottle liquid filling direction to go as needed because I will see if I can get to Cody that under the mechanic to fix it before because I know that is honest and takes me cheap, but we'll see if the problem is compounded in these many miles that I need before going near Cody's house. And I have a small loss of oil that I want to see the questions but for now it is too much and easy to keep under control the oil level. But good news is the cost of owning a vehicle, especially one as old as the Dodge.

We arrived at the ferry and as if we had decided hooked a promotion so we saved $ 30, not free but it serves.

We reached the island in good time, but in the way we had the chance to see killer whales or Orcas as you want to call (like "Free Willy") but it was quite far and all I got to see were the fins as breathing, I also call attention to the number of boats that sell whale-watching tour that persecute the poor and even some were shot to cross the path of the whale when it is forbidden, it seems that we are the only who break the rules, too bad that this time that meant to disturb these poor creatures.

The English do not like kisses but I loosen jijijiji .....

Dennis is our mascot since it was found in Nakusp pulling into the park, is a dinosaur if you squeeze it out your tongue, and then proceeded to take a nap because he does not like water.

On the island we knew we were going to do, so for a change we went to an information center where we filled with brochures but they gave us good indications of where go and worth seeing, because we thought go from south to north, but they told us that the farther north is not remarkable so we end up deciding to go to Gold River first, then down to Tofino which is half the island on the west side is in the Pacific and is popular for surfing and then go down to the south west and ending in Victoria where he lives a cousin of Jamie's mother who we go to visit but it will not be home until Monday.

After a lunch stop and a stop at a lake for a swim beat us, we decided to travel overnight to get to Gold River and dawn and in the place.

But before that I have to say that the lake where we swam in the way we were surprised to be quite warm, so we swam for about an hour before moving, and thankfully still way because Jamie was bored of waiting for Dan and began to lash poles with their boxer, first signs of a healthy and be crazy leaving try to follow the rules.

Lashing pole with boxers !!!!! Have fun with that little

also stopped at a beach on the way to take some pictures of the sunset but the sun hid it before we park so we are content with some pictures from the beach.

Lindo evening

And finally at 1 30 am we arrived at Gold River, a small town with little to do for what seemed to us but not as it was late and I was tired after 5 approximately 6 hours drive on a road full of curves and ups and downs, full of deer that need to be careful not to cross you out, we took a few laps around the city trying to find a place to park and sleep, and all 3 had decided to sleep in the van for not having to put up our tent, but could not find anywhere half away from it all not to bother so we decided to stop at a street and then just throw us to sleep, but we did not last long sleep and that 10 min of lying just before we hit the window Jamie tells me, "police "!!!! and well we hit the window and I while I wore a shirt that was already yelling.

I leave the truck by the side with a thong of Dan, one of Jamie as mended a broken with a string of mushrooms, the crumpled shirt and a sleeping face that truth was pretty smile . In this case the police I asked if we were passing and asked me to show him some identification, by then had seen the map next to the van so searching for the driver's license said I was traveling across Canada and as it was late and had much sleep we decided to take a nap before continuing because we felt safe and did not know the place as we had decided to stop there, also asked if I wanted to see the passports of Chiquilines and with that he went to the patrol and we asked to wait, as we thought we go somewhere.

again

Soon and told us that all was well appreciated the fact that we decided to sleep if we were tired and the only reason that bothered us was because he had received calls from neighbors who saw us is suspected that park and we were in some kind of weird. And I asked if it was okay for us to stay the night there or if he knew a place to park, and told us a campsite that was half close but when we started giving indications I see a face I do not understand nadita and is to be realized because it tells me "better follow me and took me to the town square that I have no problem passing tonight knowing that there are there in passing ", and so was my first encounter with the RCMP on the trip, I hope if I play more games of this type, as well as all finish this jijijiji.

New day, new place, new challenges to come .... Breakfast to keep the custom and course information center where we show some caves to explore and a couple of places to go swimming.

arrived at the caves and after get good shoes and grab the torch we went to check out, been my experience with the caves to tourists are going and they are huge and not very deep in the rocks, so are quite boring, but good had to try before complaining, and thank goodness tested because after going through 2 or three that were great but we found a shallow ceiling was low, with a little water, which stretched for more than 10 meters and was out on 2 sides, then find one that was near a small waterfall and leading into the rock for several yards and ended with a small exit rather steep, then another had many curves and increasingly that looked like it would become a dead end we found a passage where sneak smaller, reaching a point where we had to drag to move on to a camera larger and finally found a new outlet. If it was not the big thing we re us well, we have fun like little kids and we spent crying with joy when we found a new cave to explore.

excited about the adventure we got to explore

And now to where??

Playing with lights in the caves, trying to write our names (but with little success)

!!!!!! We left
!

After a couple of hours "exploring" the caves we headed to a river from which we were told we could jump off the rocks and up from a bridge across it if we wanted, and we also warned that the water was cold.

reached the river, this time without getting lost which was cause for celebration jijiji. And head to the water, clothes and all and "lavatory" clothing that was full of mud from our past through the caves. But surprise surprise !!!!!! When jumping of a cliff and fell into the water, and told us that the water was cold, but this is definitely the coldest water in which I bathed, it was as if ice water was going before they get where we were. But that's not going to stop us and we are jumping and diving to the bottom because it was quite deep, to try to give us hands under the water, but every time we left the water had to stay in the sun for a while to recover temperature body for 10 seconds in the water and went out, trembling with cold. But it was worth, so if you did was jump off the bridge because although he had no signs permitted to jump, was very high and no one dared to jump.

after cold Dead in the water

hands touching under the under the water, as you can see the water was super clear

Before Tofino departing for that would be our next destination, we went to a water inlet that we said was as close to the Pacific Ocean that could go in that area, But when we went to see that if we did not have a boat did not see anything, so we headed to Tofino is famous for being a people who are many young people to surf and is very picturesque. But first a deserved lunch which was to use my stove on gasoline, which had not used until then and had no idea how to use either, and good after a while it looked more like a flamethrower to a stove, we learned to control the flame, about jijijij
