Ok, I had a week off but wasn't counting my chickens! More and more we are getting closer to where we want to be. I took a day out this week to visit Victoria, to hunt for a great spot for about two months until the markets start. Eyeing for parking lots or other spots along busy shopping streets didn't get me anywhere. A beautiful walk at Ogden Point, a pier that brings you to a lighthouse looking over the ocean, was the only positive experience on a sunny day till than. Soaking up some vitamin D, I told my self to go back to the Inner Harbour for a second look around. There I noticed a restaurant located in a shipping container, by the water and from which I had heard was a very successful business. At that time it was not as busy as shown in the picture so I took the plunge and went to go talk to the manager. He gave me all the help I could only dream of at that time. I owe him loads of waffles now, with all my hart!
In the second picture you can see the result from this conversation. That's where I will be, day in and out for the next while, selling those delicious waffles to all the visitors and tourists who pick this beautiful Inner Harbour as there destination for entertainment and joy.
This is super for us, now we don't have to go to markets or events we can be here all summer long, only if we do a good job of course. If I only had a second trailer...I know, don't run yet!
We will be right beside the handicap-ramp in the corner, people can see and smell us from far away. I am not religious at all but I do belief in puzzle pieces falling in the right place to depict this amazing story. Next week we will have a colour full canopy(roof) in warm orange, we are also looking in to 'breeding' with the Belgian and the Canadian flag, a strong cross. I am proud to be Belgian but also happy to be here to introduce our delicacies to the Canadian people who do like fine food and dining. I will start tomorrow, it's still early in the season but on sunny days everybody wants to be out there. It's hailing Pearl sugar now!!!! Really! Sun tomorrow:)
It's better to start slow and grow in to it over time.
I am satisfied with this! Thanks
