All images taken at the Port Mouton International Hostel. The hostel is located in the lower level of a former elementary school; some rooms had chalkboards, others had desks. Upstairs, there is an art gallery and flea market. The hostel cats were a special ‘hypoallergenic’ breed and had very pretentious names. Beautiful, though. I think that everything in the boys and girls washrooms upstairs were smaller and lower compared to regular washrooms, but that might just be how I want to remember them.
Apparently, the area was named Port au Mouton by explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1604 because of a sheep-falls-overboard-and-drowns incident.
*catching up on editing/organizing some old photos*
I'm currently situated in Victoria, having previously lived in Beijing, Halifax, Chilliwack, Calgary, Vancouver and growing up in Northwestern Ontario. My aim with photography is...
Very pretty cats. They look as if they know they're designer cats, though. Great idea to turn an old school into a hostel and it's cute that they retained some of the old elements.
that sounds like an interesting place! also glad you added that bit about Samuel de Champlain because i was so excited i recognized the name (from that history book im reading, lol) i like that they have cats. i would stay there, it looks fun!
