On the way south we stopped at Ladysmith before returning home. There are no bridges from VI to the mainland it is serviced by a ferry system...the trip is scenic and whales are often spotted. The journey takes a couple of hours and the ferries have food service and a gift shop.<br />I live in a city and live a few blocks from the ocean which serves as my walking route.<br />Our neighbourhood is fairly close to town...10 minutes by car or about a 25 minute walk. Heritage houses and new infill housing make up the bulk of our neighbourhood. A few apartment buildings and condos hug the seafront. It is quite treed with oaks and flowering cherry and plum trees.<br /><br />At the very tip of the island it is sparsely populated and the coast is rugged. Vancouver Island is a large island...I think it takes about 6 or 7 hours to drive from the south to the north.<br /><br />I hope this helps!<br />hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-1901184653888649562013-07-09T14:42:06.511-07:002013-07-09T14:42:06.511-07:00Thank you Janet!

Lesley is the island connected to the mainland by bridges? Or ferries? I have looked at your locality when you post photos of your walks, neighbourhood etc. but it's difficult to get a picture of whether it is rural or just a coastal conurbation along the north coast.

I love stores like that!<br /><br />By the way, I meant to comment on your last post re. L'Occitane. I ended up buying the Divine cream, I just couldn't resist it. I remembered how nice my skin felt when I used the sample and I just went for it. I'm using it very sparingly at night since it's summer, but come winter (I think it will last that long) I'm sure it will come into its own. I like it very much so far.
