This past weekend I went to Victoria to visit my cousin Julia and we had the most wonderful weekend. It started with the best stir fry I have ever had from the Noodle House in China Town. We had somewhat of an early night because in the morning we went to Sombrio with Julia's boyfriend Benny and his roomate Max. Sombrio is about an hour and a half out of Victoria and it was a picture perfect day!
The waves were not that big, but perfect for me for my first time. Surprisingly I actually caught a wave and stood up, it was AMAZING!! Julia is a wonderful teacher. We surfed for a few hours and another huge highlight was that we saw grey whales. And not just any whale but a big grey whale that was only about 10-15 metres away!!! It was scary but spectacular all at the same time. After we caught a few more waves we took a break and we went on a little hike. We ended up finding a waterfall that actually felt like it was in another world. I felt that we were in a time warp experiencing something that no one else had. We had an unbelievable day:)
The rest of the weekend consisted of more great food, great coffee, beautiful walks through the park, of course some beers and wine and many laughs.
I cannot wait to go surfing again and go back to Victoria and have another rockin' weekend with my cousin.
