We woke up in Jessie’s Bed and Breakfast. She is a lovely 79 year-old lady. We had the pleasure to have breakfast with her and other guests this teacher woman and her father, Edgar. Edgar was 99 years old and almost all independent and very vivid man. He is a writer and still writes for his column and is very proud to say that he “gets paid for it”.
After breakfast we headed to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. But on the way, we stopped at Telegraph Cove, a very pretty village that used to be, like the name suggests, the telegraph town a century ago. Today they are known for their tourism -they have one of the best whale watching tours in the island - and their fishing. We could not do the whale tour because it would take too long (about 4 hours) but we visited the whale museum, with its incredible skeletons. We walked around, had a bite to eat and observed some bald eagles flying. Beautiful little corner of the island!
We kept driving along the coast, through many pretty coastal communities and stopped at the Miracle Beach. Mike went for a swim and I just sat there, at the sun, contemplating the place’s beauty. Beaches here are very different than the beaches I am used to in s Brazil, but they are equally beautiful. Mike saw a seal in the water.
can't believe you were in Telegraph cove on Friday and didn't see Sylive, Gidoen, Sarah Ronnie and 6 other of our friends, they were on their way back from a 4 days kayak trip with the whales, heading to Victoria!!!
