It was TOTALLY unplanned; super spontaneous! All we had was a bus guide n ourselves! We had no idea where we wana go in sooke coz there are simply too many attractive places in sooke! So yes, I was off to my weekend adventure, awww.. close to mothernature FINALLY!! Hahas..
So yes, we reached sooke after two long bus rides!! N first thing we did was to head to the travel agent nearby to get a map of sooke! The sale assistant was very nice to recommend us places in sooke. N soo our stomach started making noises new headed off to FISH N CHIPS!! Sooo damn excited to eat la.. it looked SUPER SUPER GOOD!!
But unfortunately it turned out super suxy!! It was like drinking OIL! YES DRINKING OIL!!! I dint even finish.. I even wanted to go macs to grab another burger or smth.. after the drinking oil session, everyone went to with doris to buy boxer shorts! Yes boxer shorts to change into so tat I can SWIM!! Hahas.. we missed the bus we were suppose to board n the next bus onli comes after 1hr so we embarked on our 10km WALK!! Yes.. we walk a LOT!! Hahas.. n so as we walk as we walk, we stop to take pics!!
continue walking!! n yeah! we reached the 5km mark! 5km more to GO!!
after walking for 1km, we saw another sign telling us 5 more km to GO!! hahas..

n so i tio lo!!
if u tink the little kidding was brave, check tis out!! two little sister climbing on their fours up the steep hill!! it reali tells along abt the way parents bring up n educate their children here. i tink sporean parents wil nv allow thier 4 yr old to even go out alone, let alone to climb hill!
check out how huge the log is!! hahas.. im the scale!
After a day of fun, we got worried cos it was getting late n we had no transport downhill.. rmb we hiked up for 2hours?!? How mannn, hiking downhill wil reali break out legs.. so we kept praying tat some kind souls wil allow us to hitch a ride down. First attempt failed! Nah, it wasn’t tat we aint attractive jus tat most ppl come with their family for a wkend getaway so the car was packed. Second attempt failed too, aww.. jus as we were abt to give up hope, YIFANG went all the way out n gave her all to hitch a ride. We were reali desperate n I tink the driver was kinda frighten by us coz yifang kinda screamed at them?! Hahas.. n guess wad? The two kind souls were realii nice to give us a ride down! We were sOOOO GRATEFUL!! N im proud to say that this mini-car squeeze NINE, yes NINE ppl! Even the driver ws amazed tat his car cld fit so much ppl.. now tinking bck, im wonder if the car was oki? Coz it let out some cranking sound coz we were too heavy! Hahas.. I wish the two kind souls well.. once again thank u for saving our day!! Hahas..
