Due to the ferry schedule I enjoy Vancouver Island a little bit longer than originally planned. But even if it looks like I spent many rest days in the past week, it is not like I would just hang around the whole day:

Today I first improved a few things on the page here (e.g. the rest days without reports appear in the list now) and around noon I left the house to do a small trip around town and afterwards up to Comox Lake. That's a nice reservoir around 10km outside of town.

When I arrived at this lovely place I parked my bike and took a walk along the coast. The atmosphere with the glacier mountains in the background was very nice and I dreamed a little bit about mountaineering back home - which seems to be pretty ridiculous since I am just doing the biggest outdoor project of my life :P

When I was back at my hosts place after 4.5h I had 30km on the counter and together with the few kilometers I walked this was still a pretty active day...

In the evening my host invited me to a pizza place which was very nice - I didn't have many pizzas since I left Switzerland at the beginning of february.

Unfortunately I can only offer pictures from my mobile phone today. I had my camera with me but forgot the memory card :(
