Tofino

And we’re off
Heading from Victoria to Tofino - by coincidence my brother Jamesie ( or Martin) has friends almost directly on the way between Victoria and Tofino so we dropped in on Kathy and Michael and their 2 children who had recently moved from Findhorn to Vancouver Island. Brunch a chat and a walk followed which broke up our journey perfectly. Kathy is a great artist who should give folk the opportunity to purchase her work - it’s that good.

They recommended we stop at cathedral grove where we saw an ancient forest before we continued to Tofino.

Tacofino apparently is the place to eat near Tofino and we weren’t disappointed. In fact we managed to go twice while we were here. Mind you we managed to go to the Tofino craft brewery 3 times - their stout and ipa were really good http://tofinobrewingco.com/

Today I got my running shoes out for the first time since we have been away. Hard work with the hills but thoroughly enjoyed it (ish). Sue and I then wandered through 4 different beaches each one wonderful vies and relatlively quiet.

Tomorrow we are up at 5 to go bear watching them a mad dash across the island to the ferry but making sure I can find a place to watch the England semi final - I will let you know if we make it
