Words are not enough! What a wonderful exchange. Excellent communication prior to the exchange (non simultaneous...exchangers will visit us in 2024) and a fully comprehensive guide with everything covered and more. We contracted covid on arrival which wasn't planned! but the support of our exchangers relatives nearby (one a retired gp) ensured we were well supported and the house and garden with it's humming birds was a beautiful oasis in which to recover. Our later 3 day trip to Tofino to bear watch resulted in us being stranded there for 11 days as a result of a wildfire closing the only road. We had the exchangers new E car which we ultimately had to abandon as we then flew out...Thirell and David were so understanding about this ...and as it actually meant we would not be back and vacating their house before they arrived back from Switzerland (as planned), they even moved into their second bedroom to make it easier for us as all our belongings were still in theirs! And in addition insisted on lending us their second car for a trip to Victoria. Really exceptional kindness and consideration. We are so glad all this meant an opportunity to spend a few days with Thirell and David which wouldn't have happened otherwise. We have very fond memories of Vancouver Island and this exchange..so beautiful....the places and the people.
