We headed up to Cowichan Bay with Richard and Ruth (Nana-Ruth and Grandad to the kids) to check out this tiny little village. It is a revived logging town that saw it's heyday about 60 yrs ago. Now, it's collection of brightly coloured wood clad buildings house small restaraunts, art shops, an icecream parlour and a boat building shop and museum. All this is nestled (or you could say clinging) to the edge of the bay between the old island highway and the water. I think more of the village is on piles and jetties than is on solid land! The colours and closeness adds to the charm of the village.I enjoyed the boat museum and workshop. There were some neat exhibits and some beautiful examples of wood boat building. The Ice Cream shop was pretty nice too! I had 'chai tea' icecream. It was DELICIOUS!
I thougth we had forgotten our camera at 'home' so my only pics are from Ruth's camera. On returning home, we discovered the camera tucked very deeply under one of the seats of the car - so we had it all along! Argh!
