Vancouver Island pt. I

After our summer snowboarding session on Mt Hood we headed to Portland for some skateboarding and shopping. We also watched the German soccer team playing the U.S. boys there; good bar, good (german) beer and a good game! 

It's been a week now since we finally said "Goodbye!" to the U.S. and "Hello again!" to Canada:

Victoria, B.C.

After a night and a day in Victoria - B.C.'s capital on Vancouver Island - we drove our van to Parksville. A reunion took place there.

Parksville is where Maddie and Mick are living at the moment ...

... and this is where they took us camping for a couple of days ...

... after our caravan mastered a few logging roads. 

I practiced some hanging ...

... reading ...

... jumping ...

... floating ... 

... swinging ... 

... and paddling.
Robin and I are getting ready for our Yukon canoe trip in August and Robin's friend and travel mate Theresa seems to enjoy something.

Hansi is doing what he's best at ...

... and we are planning our next adventure on this awesome island.
