When your work hours are not regular 9 to 5 your long weekend is on weekdays. Sounds great right? :) Indeed! We did go camping after Canada Day to French Beach in Vancouver Island. This was the perfect mini escape vacation. The camping ground look very much like Golden Ears (where we went with Morta and Andrius in April), just no showers and also pretty much no reception.

We got all our firewood from Layla's boyfriend. It's such a life saver! We always end up having more then we need, but we don't imagine camping without fire. Also this time I felt like only we did this 'old school' camping where we slept in a tent. Everyone else had their RV's and it looked like they moved their mini house to the forest. Meanwhile we built our own chairs from these wooden blocks. At the end we always put them in fire like saying 'till the next time' :)

My little beautiful kettle did a perfect job in mornings. The best thing about this kettle that the handle doesn't get hot so you can easily put in on fire.

After we settle down our only goal for the first day was to visit Mysterious Beach. I think it was less then 30min drive from our camping site. We entered a very beautiful forest full of ferns and we also had to pass a suspension bridge. The trail itself is poorly marked so be aware of that. Our goal was to see a sunset their but we didn't want to go back in a dark. I felt like it would be super easy to get lost in there.

Some people were camping on this beach which I found really cool thing to do.

On our way back we stopped at this beach to take some photos and to enjoy sunset colours :)

Our small campsite and fairy lights to make it look more cozy ;)

The funniest thing was to make this barley soup in fire light only. And you know what? There is nothing better then making food on fire! It was sooooo delicious! We both love soups and it was like the best desert after a long day adventures :)
