Greetings pretty ponies! First of all, we apologize that our hiatus from web wrangling went on much longer than anticipated. We won’t bore you with the particulars, suffice to say, work/family obligations took precedent.

Last week, with Valentine’s Day looming and canoodling on our minds, we decided to make the short trek down the Malahat to scenic Moon Water Lodge. Moon Water Lodge, a casual, chalet style […]

Good afternoon, pretty ponies! On a weekend afternoon, there is nothing we enjoy more than sauntering along the Songhees, the picturesque walkway which extends from the west end of the Johnson Street Bridge, all the way down through to the municipality of Esquimalt. Along the way, we ogle the harbour views. If we make it […]

A combination of deep dive bar, carnival haunted house and an episode of Hee Haw. Take a seat at the burlap-covered stump, enjoy a cold draft and munch on free peanuts. Crazy, cheap, unforgetable. GO!

Monty’s favourite lounge. Definitely a splurge, but worth it for the relaxed opulence of the British Raj theme and the popular curry buffet. Romantic and sophisticated, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

Tattoo and piercing aficionados while away the hours quaffing delicious latte macchiatos – think deep rich espressos topped with a whiff of foam. The Pandora Street location is stocked with a superb selection of magazines: Saveur, Paris Review, Atomic Ranch, and Bomb […]
