Surrey Bend Park and Barnston Island

Today I decide to go biking in Surrey Bend Park and then on to Barnston Island. 

It’s only 10 km around the island so I took my time.

My ferry awaits.  It’s just a very quick crossing.  It’s actually a barge that is pushed across by a tug.


Clouds are looming but as long as the rain holds off I’ll be happy.



It’s beautiful on the island.  Lots of farms and green pastures.



This lady should have stuck to riding a bike!

I stop at a farm and buy some fresh eggs from these girls.  Had a wonderful conversation with the lady of the farm who is an enthusiastic traveller.

Then back to Surrey Bend park which offers some great uncrowded trails.

So green!  It’s hard to imagine how dry everything was just a short time ago.  Back to my car and home I go!

Great day out in Chilliwack at the Sunflower Festival.

Beautiful!

Dahlias too!



On the way home we stopped off at the Cidery.  Perfect end to a perfect day!
