This Easter weekend was the first true test for the Bus. With a fridge full of beer we headed North along the Sunshine Coast. Our first stop along the road was in Maderia Park. A friend of Nick's just recently took over running Harbour Pizza. This place makes some really good pizza and is well worth a short pitstop on the way up the coast. Give Chris a ring at 604 883 2543.
Of course he also is part of the V-dub Club running a badass 4wd Syncro.
One Harbour Special and one Chicken Garlic Supreme later we were back on the road. Earl's Cove saw the three of us eating delicious pizza and drinking some chilled Pils from the fridge.
After a hasty trip into Powell River with rushed food shopping we found ourselves heading to Lund Harbour for the evening. Some unexpected but welcomed guests came to visit the bus and we had beers and shared stories with Gina and Coco.
With our luck we chose to camp during a gigantic windstorm and feared the pop-top would rip off at any moment. Surviving the night we unpacked the bus and Hopped on the water taxi over to Savary. The weekend was awesome. Many people came up to spend the weekend. Despite cold temperatures there was a skim session or two to be had.
Easter Sunday had Dru on a treasure hunt for the missing chocolate. Luckily all was a found and return to the rightful owners.
Then that evening brought Nick's Birthday party. All who still had gas left in the tank got together and poached the deck of an unnamed establishment to celebrate Savary style. All in all a great weekend. A good opportunity to test the van and find some problems that we will need to fix before making the big journey down to Mexico. Nothing catastrophic but problems none the less. Thanks to everyone who came and shared in the fun.
