Our area opened up and we were able to travel in the province again.  We went over to Vancouver Island to visit family.  It was a nice change from staying local for so long, and the weather was sunny and warm. We cycled, swam in the ocean, walked the beaches, checked out a small museum, a vineyard, and had dinner inside a restaurant for the first time in over a year.

| There were loads of bees in the lavender, watched over by this eagle.  After 5 nights in a tent we treated ourselves to a resort with a pool, gardens and a spa. |
