Tired of this weather? Planning a get-away? Here are some ideas for you.
Almost everyone on Bowen has spent time in Europe, but how many of us have tried walking, boating or caravan-camping as a means of transport? Three sets of Bowen Islanders are looking forward to sharing their adventures with you.
Firstly, Robin and Hilary Butler will be talking about their favorite Camino de Santiago – the Via de la Plata – a walk unhampered by the crowds on the “traditional” Camino, and just as scenic.
Then, well-known photographer Peter Baumgartner and his interior designer wife Barbara Wahler will share with you their extensive experience on the canals of France and the Netherlands aboard Vincent, their trusty canal boat.
Finally, Judith McBride, traveler and photographer extraordinaire, will tell you about travelling in “Hymer,” her trusty camper-van, in various countries in Europe.
All these presentations will provide useful information on these three ways of visiting Europe.
Bring some cash so as to sample tasty snacks from France, Spain and other European countries. All this between 3 and 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 29 at Collins Hall.
Tickets cost $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students, and are available at Phoenix and at the door. All proceeds go to Komera Canada, one of Bowen Island’s well-known charities that supports Rwandan girls endeavouring to graduate from high school and university. Donations of $20 and above will merit a charitable tax receipt.
