<description><![CDATA[An awesome place to go for a short hike in Saanich is Bear Hill.
Early April, when the wild flowers are already out, there are a lot of great spots to go for a hike around Victoria.

When you hike up Bear Hill though you can almost be certain to always see eagles, ravens, turkey vultures, and ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We were lucky! I think we caught the most beautiful day in February for our trip to Portland Island. The island is part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve and is easily reached by a passenger ferry departing from Canoe Cove. Of course you can also use your own boat or kayak over to the ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Breakfast at Sophie&#39;s Cosmic Cafe - always a winner!

Went there again last week and it was amazing - as to be expected!
The funky place has stories to tell, interesting customers, is a Kitsilano landmark by now (since 1988), and the food is fabulous and surely not to be missed. Whether you ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It was my first time experiencing the Vancouver Christmas Market and I was really impressed.
Definitely brought back memories of Christmas Markets in Germany and considering that it&#39;s only been around since 2010 the organizers have done a really good job.
Most of the wooden huts were selling ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Had a fabulous hike on Thursday with Marion from &quot;Trek and Treats&quot;.
The Galloping Goose is always amazing, even in November. We hiked through ancient rain forest, watched an otter diving, splashing, and hunting for salmon in Veitch Creek and even found mushrooms along the path. In this ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How did it come to this? Why am I writing? What inspired me?

I guess the first thing I ever wrote that is similar to what I am intending to do is writing a travel journal when we took the night train from Munich to the North Sea in Germany. Our kids were then 2 and 4 and we went on this ...]]></description>
