The beach and the beaver
canadiantour, 09:14h
Sunday, Aug 7
Well, on Sunday i took the chance to sleep a bit longer than the last days. Still settled a few things, applied for more jobs and recovered from the previous days ;) =D
In the afternoon I met the other Germans (Steffi, Tanja, Karsten and Stefan) at Granville Station to go to the beach (Sunset Beach) with them. Due to the windy weather and as well due to my bruises =P I did not go swimming this time. The most time we were lying in the last sun rays or played frisbee (at least the others; i was too lazy =P ).
As one is not allowed to drink alcohol in public in Canada, we decided to go to “The Beaver” the Samesun hostel to enjoy some alcoholic drinks ;) I got to know a new dish, by the way: Samosa with chutney (delicious =D ).
So in the evening we were hanging around in this kind of bar, chatting with each other and drinking some “ladies cocktails” (Malibu, Vodka, cranberry and pineapple juice). This time the taxes were included, but the tips werent – the Canadians really always find a way to let you pay more than it was labelled xD =P and i learned that there is a law in BC that says that you are not allowed to drink only, but you have to order a meal as well during your stay. Never heard of that before; again a little bit weird ^^ I went home at around 11 pm and went to bed almost at once =)
