This week’s sauce has some great junk. Plus to be merciful there’s no random dodgy photos or videos. I’ve been having a great week. Left Montreal, passed through Vancouver and now I’m happily ensconced in Victoria. I already took one of the first aid courses I want to do, and I’m happily doing the foot work for a couple Victoria based posts that I want to do. Anyways, let’s get this baby rolling so I can go watch Zombieland. Again. It’s a cool movie! Read the rest of this entry »

In order to get on to Vancouver Island from the mainland of British Columbia you pretty much have two choices: plane or ferry. My favourite is definitely the ferry. The BC Ferries are remarkable in that they can carry 1650 passengers, and up to 370 vehicles between the British Columbia mainland and Vancouver Island. They’re the largest double ended ferries in the world. Plus they serve a damn tasty veggie burger on board. The most common route is from just outside Vancouver over to the capitol of British Columbia, which is Victoria. It’s an hour and a half voyage which winds through several small islands in the Pacific Ocean and is really quite scenic.
The sore point for me is watching this great scenery sail past while I have no photography skills at all. So a few days ago, I stood on the deck of the seventh floor, right up at the bow and tried my best to get a good photo. With it being a chilly February afternoon, high up on the bow of a fast moving ship, it wasn’t exactly crowded. I have a very tough time taking photos; I don’t feel comfortable taking them, plus I don’t have much of an eye for it. So excuses aside, here are a few that I got which seem fairly nice to me. Let me know what you think! Read the rest of this entry »
