12 Days of Family Road Trip: Part 3

July 26 Trip:  Sooke to Port Renfrew (~1.5hr) Activities/Visits: Kayaking, Shirley, Sheringham Point Lighthouse,  Pacheedaht Beach (Port Renfrew) It was another beautiful day at Sooke. The harbour was majestic and quiet in the morning. Importantly, the kids woke up on time to do sea kayaking in the morning. We met our kayaking tour guide , Randal,  at Kaltasin Park,  who ran Mystic Beach Adventures Inc , which guided people on nature and wildlife tours at Sooke. The kids weren't strong enough to paddle on their own, so I towed Frederick's kayak, while Randal towed Charlotte's. My Son and his Kayak There were many starfishes, moon jellies and crabs.

Survive using low bandwidth

Hmm... I haven't been posting any blog for a long time. Basically there are three reasons stopping me from writing a blog. a. I am lazy as usual b. I am on vacation in HK right now and I want to do more exciting things than writing a blog c. I only have dial up connection in HK.

(Note that 28k modem means 28,000 bits per second and 1.5Mbps means 1,500,000 bits per second) Back then, ADSL to me was extremely fast, and I was very please to make the switch. In HK , due to a number of reasons, my dad decided not to install high speed internet and go for dial up solution. Yes, it is extremely slow and I couldn't do much other than checking my email. In fact, believe me, it does take awhile to load the Gmail webpage (about 3 minutes). Lucky I did turn on the cache opinion. The functionalities of email website such as Gmail an
