Yesterday was really fun in Tofino. The weather held out pretty well. A little wet, but some sun came out later on in the day while we parked at Schooner Cove and wandered along the shore to Long Beach. The views are stunning!
Then we did a little forestry road exploring (our friends drive 4×4 vehicles) and discovered some dense forest in the wilds behind the town. The trees were so thick that the sun was nearly blotted out and we were in near darkness.
All the outdoor adventures made us hungry so we hit up the Wildside Grill situated in this cluster of small wooden buildings that house all sorts of neat shops. The New Zealanders popped into the chocolatiers and then we poked around the “Groovy Movie” store for a couple of videos for the evening. We picked out a copy of Where the Buffalo Roam, a film about Hunter S. Thompson, and The Royal Tanembaums. Both great films and we had a blast watching them that night.
Our cabin overlooks the ocean so after the movies were done we turned out the lights and gazed over the moonlit ocean view outside our front windows. Beautiful! I think Tofino is one of the most amazing places ever.
Now we’re chilling at the cabin after a hearty breakfast and listening to all kinds of cool New Zealand bands. I love meeting people from other parts of the world and being introduced to new music. Not sure what the plan is for today. There’s talk of kayaking and wandering around. Not sure if I’m up for kayaking (what!?! I never miss kayaking!) and we might wander around the townsite for a while and take some more photos.
