A creek on the way to Port RenfrewWe had a good supper the other night with R,R&G. Yesterday morning we moved a little closer into town to All Fun RV Park in Highlands. It is actually cheaper than the $24 at Goldstream Park since we don’t have to use propane for the furnace or fridge. We then met R,R&G for lunch in Metchosin at My Chosen Café. There was a 20 minute wait for a table but the food made it worthwhile as it was excellent. After lunch Robin went off to do errands and the rest of us went to Witty’s Lagoon. It was a long walk down but pretty nice, also the sun was out and somewhat warm. I was surprised to find a largish waterfall along the way – Sitting Lady Falls. We were so late getting R&G home that Robin had a nice supper ready for us. We went to the ice cream parlour across the parking lot for a treat when we returned home.
Today we drove out to Port Renfrew and the wet coast lived up to its name as the farther out we got, the wetter it became. We went to The Coastal Kitchen in Port Renfrew for a nice lunch. We met a couple from the Yukon there who we’d seen along the road and got chatting. Pretty soon they joined us at our table for an hour and a half chat. It was great getting to know Bob and Edith who invited us to visit them if we make it that far north this summer. They live about an hour from Whitehorse off the power grid so are quite solar savvy. They’re on their way south not wanting to get home until mid May.
Tomorrow we will make our way back up to Parksville as we have several people we want to connect with before we leave the Island.

Sitting Lady Falls is beautiful - how tall would you say it is? Hard to gauge from the picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the far-off dreamy expression you captured on Miss G.
All of your wonderful pictures make me want to get a DSLR so badly!
If you wait 2 more weeks the snow might be all gone in town for you!
ReplyDeleteI can see my brown lawn now and the tracks left by a vole tunneling under the snow.
The main drop of the falls is probably 30 feet or so - hard to tell, because there's a bridge across the top, and Dad's viewpoint is from probably a hundred yards off.
ReplyDeleteWish I'd heard about the Renfrew trip! Not that I wasn't too busy to go, but still.
