My Mom used to make them too…but she called it New York Slice…lol. Just as yummy though.

As an Australian who spent six incredible years on Vancouver Island in my own self built campervan, before Covid turned my life upside down and took it all away from me, I’m sorry to say that this was simply too heartbreaking to watch. I’m happy you guys got to experience it though. It is indeed, paradise on earth.

@@talandmads thanks. And just FYI, if you’re still in Tofino (where I assume you’re headed next) make sure you check out Poole’s Land (ask a local). And if you’re still on the Island, don’t forget to check out the Gulf Islands. Every one of them is magic. Happy travels 💛

I’ve lived here all my life . Never got to experience Pooles land but wish I did. I sure hope someone else does the same thing up there

GOOD MORNING ladies and adorable Bowie. As usual, I love traveling with you; the scenary, different towns, and history. It's so nice how you take care of care of Bowie going over certain bridges. And Mads is so right; it's fun watching Bowie running free on the beaches. I also loved watching him surf with the girls. The life vest you have for him is so cool. So, I'll let you ladies take a rest and I'll see you next time. Yah....as if you two rest 🤣 Love you all.......... Bernie ❤

My thoughts exactly. Didn't know how to say it though. Even the music was good. Love you guys.

Greetings ladies from Northern Ireland. Your trip to Victoria has brought back happy memories of our vacation to the island in 1998. We actually did the trip to Pemberton as well.

You guys are never boring. I love that you are taking us with you on your adventures. Continue your fun adventures and the information that you give us about the places that you travel to. ❤❤

Wooo as another ontarian there’s nothing like a trip to BC for the beauty and see how much more of an outdoor/nature loving lifestyle it is out there everyone enjoys being outside so much more.

Had missed quite a few episodes after you took a break so binged them earlier today. In one of them you asked if you looked like sisters. I don't think so. Facially, if you were animals in a Disney movie I see Mads as a mouse and Tal as a bunny rabbit XD But similar height, slim build and hairstyles obviously

An amazing video thanks so enjoyable ❤❤

By far my favorite KZread channel. The way you both look at life and adventure is remarkable. Always positive and making the best of whatever it is. And yes, I did laugh and smile while watching. Thanks for that! Safe travels.

Love you girls! Always smiles when watching your videos! 🫶🏼

Happy Bowie always makes me smile!!😁 Another great video, enjoy your long weekend! ❤

Bowie had the best time. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure🎇🎇 Have a great week✨✨

Great trip, brilliant content. Thanks for sharing. See you next time

I didn't think your trip could get better than Alaska, but Victoria is gorgeous. A slice of paradise in Canada. I've been the BC, but only around Vancouver. Absolutely great video! I love bowie, what a cutie! Thanks for taking us along. Much love!

How fun!😎

You two always have a wonderful adventure I always look forward to your next adventure hope you to continue to do these videos

Yeah, I need to go there. For sure.

Wow! Talk about your beautiful BC! When I lived in Kelowna I did make it to the the island once but never got to Victoria. Boy, did I ever miss something! I spent fourteen wonderful years in BC and I miss it every day. Thank you so much, girls, for letting me live vicariously through you.

Thank you so much for the beautiful vidio ❤

I remember taking the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria on a vacation. Always an enjoyable ride. You guys are having too much fun! 😎

As always what a great start to my Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are visiting Quebec next week from Toronto. Been years since I've been there so looking forward to rembering and finding new adventures.

Your country is beautiful. I just love Bowie. Great video ladies.

Welcome to Victoria/Vancouver Island! Greatest place in the world to live. Came here for university 35 years ago and never left :). You should see the Mystic beach waterfall in the spring. Hope you enjoy Tofino/Ucuelet. I assume that is where you are beach bumming. If you have time, Strathcona Park is a must do for hiking and wilderness. Myra Falls and Buttle lake are great. Also, definitely stop in Parksville to walk a couple of kilometers out into the ocean at low tide. Bring a pail and a little shovel and you can dig up clams and muscles there all day long. When the tide is in the ocean water there can be like a bath tub on a hot summer day.

My hometown- such an amazing city!!!

This is why I love watching your videos I get to experience such beautiful places I'd otherwise never see ❤

I honestly don't know why I haven't moved there yet. Vancouver Island is always stunning. Also, really great cinematography in this episode - clearly you were inspired by the unbelievable beauty out there! Well done!

I found you through the van wives…. started following and then as I’m getting ready to make my own dreams happen I’ve been off KZread for the last couple of months… but as a retired Er nurse of 12 years and travel nurse the last 4 ….we should connect!! If you ever need a place to stay off grid I have a cabin in Vermont and working on another in Alaska!!! Safe travels I will be exited to catch up on your journey!

Omg this one is a special one for me! I was born in Vancouver and lived in Victoria for about 7 years as well and haven't been back since before the pandemic so it was really sweet coming along on your adventures! Thanks for sharing Tal and Mads! 💗

I have lived on Vancouver Island since 1991 having moved from my hometown in Alberta. Enjoy The Rock! Take in the relative peace and quiet of this special spot.

I watch your video each week and think you can never out do this one….then the next week you do!!!! Thank you so much for the time and effort you invest doing this. It is so enjoyable watching you ladies enjoying life and doing it with each other. Thank You!!!

hello from Ladysmith, BC on vancouver island! Glad you guys enjoyed your time here. Highly recommend the nanaimo river, so many magical spots.

Absolutely delightful and very professionally put together.❤❤nana

Welcome to Vancouver Island. You zipped by our part of the world. We are west of Lake Cowichan 30 km at the head waters of Nitinat Lake, one of the wind surfing and kite boarding hotspots on the island. When highway 4 was closed for the fire at Cameron Lake we had tons of traffic on the detour route through the logging road that we are on. Great job on the highlights of your travels up the island. Love watching your channel, always a nice to follow along with you.

I made the trip from Vancouver as well. Started out from San Francisco. I was 18 in 1971 and in my VW Bus. Camped in Nanaimo for a week. Loved it then but not enough time. need to go back now with my wife and take it all in again. Love Vancouver as well. Great vid. Always gorgeous. Thanks

Love Vancouver Island - it's a favourite place - so great that you spent time there! Can't wait to see more.

You girls have some cool adventures.

Grew up in Port Renfrew, Lake Cowichan and Nanaimo - Been all over the island, beautiful as well as secluded beaches - wilderness trails and mountains, that have influenced my life in one way or another. Of course, this was all before it was discovered by the rest of the world. So happy you chose to sip the nectare from which many a creative soul was birthed... Happy trails beautiful ladies and puppy - be safe and have fun.

Love Vancouver Island. Victoria is awesome.

like you, i was from Ontario. moved here almost 20 yrs ago. Wish I knew you were coming, we live in Nanaimo, we love our VanLife. when we get to do it. I am still discovering the beauty of this island. There is so much. Looks like Sproat Lake.. make sure you visit Taylor creek swimming hole. Hope you get to visit more of the island.. -Stamp River Campground -Tofino/Ucluelet -Elk River Campground and the suspension Bridge near Campbell River -Sayward (we slept in the Library parking lot) -Port McNiel (stay at Cluxewe or Alder Bay). -so much more Would have loved to show you around but we leave on Thursday.. it is the 125th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush and they said they were having a party!! We are going to crash the party!!

Great video

I heard and saw a lot about the beauty of Vancouver Island, that it's definitely on my bucket list. I just wish it wasn't so far away from Vienna. You, however, brought me to a whole new place, Nanaimo. I never heard of this place, nor heard or tasted Nanaimo bars. I now have to check out how to make one myself. Glad you enjoyed being with the board in the water (seems like Bowie enjoyed it too).

Cute that green tail!

that was great video and lots a topics covered ! Never been to the island myself, so its like i've been now 😁 🇨🇦. thanks !!!!

Good video y’all

I live in Canada since 2001, now in Quebec City. I just came back from my first trip to the Gaspesie! First time for a Brazilian/ Canadian to go check a Canadian beach. Wow! I thought the water would be freezing but not at all! Was amazing. And in the middle of the city of Gaspé I found this amazing bakery called Oh! Just this. Oh! And it is by far the best I went yet! So, if you guys one day will go back to visit the Vanwives 😊, take a long way through the Gaspesie! It is amazing nature!

The "ooo, ahhh" acually made me choke on my coffee it was so funny. Thank you for your videos! You always have such beautiful sceanery and Bowie ineracting with all the new places is always a joy. I love when you cross over with others I love like Vanwives.

Vancouver Island is the best! Have a great visit. btw - ferry food is hit or miss, when its good, its really good! If you're into ferries, check out Orcas Island on the next leg of your trip.

Sydney is a beautiful little town❤️

been around the world the island has lots, surfing ,hiking people etc miss it

Love this amazing and wonderful video from two amazing and wonderful young women love it 🥰 please stay safe and healthy and prayers and thoughts to you both love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤your amazing channel is awesome and is helping me deal with my mental health issues so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤

Welcome ladies! Shhh dont tell everyone of our paradise,..our lil secret! 🤫🤗..🇨🇦

I live right by the "goats on the roof" and it is nice to see that you two had a great time on Vancouver Island. Cheers!
