Tofino

Finally, we headed to Tofino. Our first stop was another lake. It may look boring to drive from lake to lake, BUT
it isn't ! 

Kennedy Lake, with a rainbow. We couldn't find any treasure chest ...

... but anyway, as a wise human once said: "good food is one of the most important things in life". It has to be good food for human though!

Even though Moritz broke his foot and was forced to relax, he showed us awesome spots in and around Tofino 

This muddy hike was one of his suggestions ... 

... and one of our favourites.

Pretty nice view from the top of the hike, eh!?

There are no pictures of Hansi and me skateboarding Tofino's super fun skatepark, so I hope this one transports enough action for you. 

Le Frisur

I thought about some kind of a deep phrase or saying about "change", but I'd rather quote my quebecois Louis: "On s'en caliss!"

Thanks for the pictures Moritz Zeisner!

Vancouver Island pt. II

We teamed up, again ... 

... this time, to hit some logging roads ...

... and some nice trails.

Hansi introduced me to fishing, thanks for that !

We enjoyed some more campfires ...

... lakes ... 

... a lot of sun (and ice cream)

more campfires (and a lot more stars)

Another lake

Same spot, by day ...

... and by night. Yes, it's the moon!

Aaand another lake.
The hardest part on Vancouver Island is to decide, which lake is the most beautiful

Vancouver Island pt. I

After our summer snowboarding session on Mt Hood we headed to Portland for some skateboarding and shopping. We also watched the German soccer team playing the U.S. boys there; good bar, good (german) beer and a good game! 

It's been a week now since we finally said "Goodbye!" to the U.S. and "Hello again!" to Canada:

Victoria, B.C.

After a night and a day in Victoria - B.C.'s capital on Vancouver Island - we drove our van to Parksville. A reunion took place there.
(Robin's van to the right, Florence's car in the background on the left side)

Parksville is where Maddie and Mick are living at the moment ...

... and this is where they took us camping for a couple of days ...

... after our caravan mastered a few logging roads. 

I practiced some hanging ...

... reading ...

... jumping ...

... floating ... 

... swinging ... 

... and paddling.
Robin and I are getting ready for our Yukon canoe trip in August and Robin's friend and travel mate Theresa seems to enjoy something.

Hansi is doing what he's best at ...

... and we are planning our next adventure on this awesome island.
