Visit with my brother on the west coat of Vancouver Island, Dinner with friends, winery tour and scenes around Beacon Hill Park
When I completed my contract in Mozambique in April (see previous post) I came home to relax and enjoy my time with family and friends. My brother, who lived further north on Vancouver Island, had rented a small cabin on the west coast of Vancouver Island during his week of holidays so I joined him for a couple of days. We had a great visit, during which time we enjoyed the views of the ocean from the cabin (and the hot tub facing the water!) and hiked along the ocean.
After catching up with my brother I had dinner and met up with friends at one of my favourite restaurants in Victoria, Ferris' Oyster Bar and Grill, went on a wonderful winery tour in the Cowichan Valley with Wilson Tours and wandered around Beacon Hill Park, which is literally right next to where I live, and had coffee at the Dockside Green Caffe Fantastico to meet my friend Natalie's new puppy. It was a lovely way to spend my break at home :)

Can't stop looking for whales...even from the hot tub with a glass of wine, off the west coast of Vancouver Island

Love the west coast beaches!
