My Inner 10 year old exultant

[giftederic]

In the last 5 hours I have been on 3 ferry trips, 3 bus rides, and a train ride. (One of each completely unnecessary!)

I have been to the second place that I want to revisit with a camera... (which bodes well for  a random camera seller)

If I relocate here, I have found the place that I would most like to live in too... :) Though I might need a spare C$500k (about €350k). And a very good internet connection..

The place: Bowen Island, a small island accessible by BC Ferries excellent ferry service. Picturesque is not a word that does the place justice. I was sooo taken aback by the place that I even walked up an incredibly steep hill voluntarily. (though admittedly the terrain tricked me). If I don't buy a camera, I'll find pictures of it...

The coast here is amazing. There are coastal communities that are essentially islands, because there are no roads connecting them to the rest of civilisation. (Mountains can be a bitch that way). And there are something like 6000 islands, and I have discovered that I am an island person (which makes a degree of sense...).

Later...

You better learn to ski ;) or at least snow-shoe

Sort of in the way that the Persians advised that all decisions made while drunk should be reconsidered when sober (and vice versa), all decisions regarding real estate in North America made in summer should be reconsidered in winter (or if on the Eastern Seaboard, hurricane season). :)
