Day 4: (Bonilla Pt. - Cheewat)
km 48 - 36.5
Culture shock hits us very hard today. We read about it but you have to
see to believe: Chez Monique! A coffee bar in the middle of nowhere. The rain
doesn't seem so bad after a cup of coffee and a snickers bar (and you
can get a lot more there.) This spot might be the last hope for a lot of hikers...
We've been hearing it for the last 12 hours: Carmanah lighthouse. At the
notice board there is a short scientific article about a new kind of elementary
particle, the Moron. I thought this was very funny but I have never seen
this article again. If you know it, please e-mail me!
The end of the day sees us still in the fog, nevertheless we've found a
nice beach with huge driftwood logs near Dare Point. Always good for a
nice campfire. Unfortunately, drinking water is 1 km away, a small source
on the other side of the Cheewat river. The river doesn't look
very nice, no wonder if you know that Cheewat means ¨River of Urine¨.
Up to the Overview. Next day.
