Escape to Bowen Island #ExploreBC<\/h2>\n

Just a short ferry ride away lies a little paradise worthy of many days of exploration – Bowen Island. We headed over for a night and wished we’d booked for longer, but we managed to get a lot of tasty treats in in a very short time.<\/p>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to our sweet ride, the Honda 2018 Acccord<\/a> <\/strong>Touring V6, we had lots of room to pack, a cabin that felt like we were in a much wider ride, and superb handling to nip around those winding Island roads. Thought we’d take a shot of the car vs something a little older on the farm we stayed at. Don’t mind the crazy hair day I was having.<\/p>\n

\"Alderwood<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Alderwood<\/a><\/p>\n

Our accommodation choice was a great one, Alderwood Farm<\/a><\/strong>, complete with chickens, roosters an emu and donkeys. We stayed in the Courtyard En-Suite, but we also checked out the cabin, which was a little larger and had the kitchenette. This is such a lovely spot to stay at and we’ll definitely be back here. There’s even an onsite shop that is a go-to for Islanders with lots of super-healthy food, and pizzas and pies galore!<\/p>\n

Breakfast in the morning was delivered and delicious just baked croissants, fresh fruit and excellent coffee. Alderwood Farms also hosts weddings and would be a great spot for a farm to table dinner, we may have to organize something this summer.<\/p>\n

\"Barcelona\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For dinner we headed to Barcelona Tapas and Wine Bar\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>where we met up with a friend who lives on the Island and in the know of where to eat there. This is a charming spot, and the patio is now open for the summer, so you can eat al fresco or choose to sit inside as we did on a table made from a wine barrel. They’ve got a great selection of wine and you’ll want to order all the tapas here so bring friends to share.<\/p>\n
