3=First Aquaponics System at Vancouver Island University

The first aquaponics system at VIU. This unit was built by Fisheries & Aquaculture Technnology Diploma student, Julie V., based on barrel-ponics designed by Travis W Hughey http://www.fastonline.org/content/vie... Nile tilapia (from Redfish Ranch - are cultured with various edible plants including tomatoes, basil, lettuce, dill, green beans, cucumbers, and broccoli. Super cool!

2=Tofino - Vancouver Island, Canada.

I spent 3 nights in Tofino at Eik Landing (Adrienne's Loft) which was a nice upgrade from the Hostel in Vancouver (Granville Street) where we had stayed earlier. The view from the apartment was pretty damn amazing. Tofino is a small town of 1.500 souls but receive over a million visitors a year (not a lot in April, though :).

It's situated on the Pacific coast and is at the very end of the only paved road that crosses the island (built during WWII). This is heaven if you ask me - I could settle here for the rest of my life :) I'd just need a faster Internet connection than the 256kbit one that the apartment had...

I'll be posting a few videos from here. If you're ever in the area, don't dare miss Tofino
