What a booked tour?

Okay so I touched down in Vancouver and suddenly it is morning again, I was so dazed out drunk and fatigued that when I got to my Cousin's house(My mum's sister's daughter who is in her 30's and married with 2 kids.) I was amazed at how big the house was 7 bedrooms in total and because it is so big they kind of rent rooms out to other people but mainly to chinese families. My room was an ensuite. It was so cool and the double bed. This was going to be my only peak of luxury for the next few months so I had to enjoy it to the fullest.

So because it was 10am I couldn't sleep, also partially because I couldn't believe that I finally made it to Canada, the roads are big, the maple trees have all gone ginger orange and the leaves had all fallen to the ground as their autumn(or should I say fall) was slowly changing to winter.

My first impression was is it like Melbourne? Well the weather is exactly like Melbourne in winter, cool, not that cold, 7-10 degrees and you don't need an overly large coat to keep you warm but I was told it does get colder because it snows here. So is it exactly like Melbourne, well I've got 6 days to find out so hopefully by the end of it I will let you all know.

Anyhow back to Vancouver Island, as I said before I was dazed, recovering from alcohol, jet lag and I was asked. Do you want to go to Victoria tomorrow with Jenny(a chinese girl that was renting one of the rooms and about my age). My answer:

"Yes"

"Can you drive?" My cousin asked?

"Yes, but we drive on the left hand side of the road in Australia" I replied jokingly

So then it was there, "okay I'll book a tour for you then." My cousin said.

"Done" I returned with excitement.

But what I didn't know was that it was a going to be a bad mistake.

The tour bus was full of oldies aged 50+,speaking in Chinese and it was a full 12 hour shift with them. So here goes nothing.....
