I caught my ferry this morning and found myself in Nanaimo at 8:00am which gave me lots of time to explore before Dave got back from work at 7:30 this evening. I drove pretty much straight through to Tofino, stopping only to check out Qualicum Falls, which are quite nice. I got lucky and hit them before the rush of tourists showed up.
Around noon I pulled into the tourism information center and scooped a map. The tourist girl recommended a few places to see and I decided to spend some time on Wickaninnish Beach. Beautiful place! I was only there once briefly before and have been meaning to get back. Since it was such a sunny day I figured I should go there and see it. Turns out I spent a good chunk of the afternoon exploring.
I had a little nap in my car (which I have now christened as the Mighty Grey Bird since it delivers me to all my adventures) and then wandered through Tofino to pick up a new hat (a Lonix hat — it’s awesome!) and then see what the bookstore had for me. Looks like they had a copy of Scar Tissue – the biography of Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. So I bought a copy and spent the rest of the afternoon on Long Beach reading. Not a bad way to end a Tuesday.
Dave’s back so I’m going to run. I posted a whack of this morning’s photos on my flickr account, including photos of Dave’s new boat that we’re taking out. Talk to you all next week when I get back!
