Alert Bay – our favorite…
Some pictures of our Vancouver Island highlight this year… That impression was highly influenced by the fantastic front room 106 at the over-the-water hotel Seine Boat Inn and its funky and friendly owner Colin.
Seine Boat Inn, Alert Bay
Three nights at the marvelous Seine Boat Inn on Cormorant Island. This could be a place to retire to… just fantastic. Read More
One-day Tour in North Vancouver
After our wonderful 9-day family cruise in South East Alaska, Phil and Ya headed to the north of Vancouver Island for a few hiking days in a remote and wild area. Yasuko is in heaven!
In the meantime, the rest of the crew (Mita, Zenon, Lia, Luca, Nicolas and Nicole) are spending 6 days in Vancouver.
Today we went to discover North Vancouver and its natural beauty. The scenery reminded us of Lake Walensee in Switzerland. Very similar but everything much wider.
San Josef Bay Hike (close to Cape Scott)
We were warned by a couple of people about the bad state of the logging road to the San Josef Bay Trail, about potholes, flat tires, no phone signal, and Sasquatchs all over. Read More
Port Hardy, Vancouver Island
This is our first day in Port Hardy, on the northern part of Vancouver Island.
We started with a short visit to the local hardware store as we were hiking in bear country after all. If not a shotgun, we should at least have a bear spray, bear horn or something similar to survive, I thought. Read More
Our home on the water, the „Alaskan Dream“
The Alaskan Dream was our moving and floating home away from home for 8 days. A constantly humming, but a rather stable boat with beds and showers just about right for us to stand in still… the luxury wasn’t inside the boat, but rather outside in the wild. Read More
