Day 6 - Monday 13th June - Vancouver Island

Today we visited Cathedral Grove at Cameron Lake. This is an amazing area of ancient forest with some giant Cedar and Douglas Firs. It was a geat experience to walk amongst these enormous trees.









Katie, you'll remember being here with Craig.












Strangely still no sign of the lonesome pine here!

In the evening the Eileens went to play golf while Fern & I watched game 6 of the Stanley Cup. Bruins put 4 past Canucks in a disastrous 4 minute spell in the first third - I'm beginning to sound like a real ice hockey fan. The whole Stanley Cup thing is very exciting and the whole of British Columbia is caught up in Cup fervour, it's very infectious and also good fun. Final game on Wednesday. Watch this space.............

Fern & Eileen have a humming bird feeder in the "back yard" and I have spent hours trying to capture the tiny birds in flight. Here is the best shot so far!

  1. Hi Guys

    Those trees are just amazing. What a great thing to see. Had no idea that humming birds lived in that area. You learn something new every day.
    Anne and Neil coming round this evening for a bbq. Nice and sunny here today so may get to sit outside !

    T&P
