A postcard from the wild coast

With a couple of (forced upon) vacation days on hand, the bike in the shop, a bum knee that needs some physio therapy, and on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of all this, my fellow traveler surprised me just in time with a long weekend stay in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island.

For a 'fish head' like me (Fischkopp - an expression that Germans use for people born in the Northern part of the country) a walk on the wild (coast) side is food for body and soul.

No motorcycle related content, but I enjoyed the first day of our sojourn nevertheless.
