travel longing

At the 24 of november we started our roadtrip from victoria.

After so long time only working the travelling begins now.
At the first day we drove to Nanaimo. At this ride we passed a very small but lovely fishing village called Cowichan Bay. In this village exist only one road. All houses are built on the water on tree trunks. The look of this small village is originally and so dreamy. Thre is a liquor store for the old sea guys and a very interesting maritime museum. In this museum you can see how it works to build boats of wood. You can observe the carpenters by her work and you ca learn a lot of boats in the past.
After this stop we rode through Duncan to Chemainus. There you can see over 40 interesting paintings on the walls of public buildings. There come artists from whole canada to publish her art in this city.

At the evening we arrived in Nanaimo where we spent the night on a parking place of a shopping mall.

Greetings from Nanaimo.

In the hope that you read the comments...

by whom? I give you a hint: I've given you the crosswords...

Good Day, Good Sir (you still know this, dou you? ;) let me give you a hint: outcast)

First, I have to make a little critic:(have I formulate this right? I don't know... may you do?)
Why you don't have told me earlier that you want to make a blog? (Or have you done? you know, i like to forget things f... quickly)

Second, have you had time to check your e-mails? (I ask you, because I have written something to you (one word: birthday) and don't got an answer from you (I had many questions...).

Third, I must say you have made a little nice blog; very good idea, to put this clock-thing at (on? in?) the blog.

Fourth, I also must say that I like the most of the pictures you have uploaded, especially that one with the van in the foreground and the sun, shining so "dreamy" (yes, I read your posts ;). So I make the assumption that your present still doing its tasks well?

Fifth, and last (I just don't want to overhelming you with endless questions ;), I wish you the best for the "rest" of your w-a-t (ha! what that means: find it out; I got also no help from you to find out what wooffing means; I assume that I know this word, now: working on organic farms + -ing ... I'm right?).

Wish you also that you stay healthy and fit and that no one will trick you at some time on your way through canada... and: come home in one piece ;)
