Tofino harbour
We had breakfast, packed everything, and then walked to the beach. It was very foggy, though it had been perfectly clear all night, in fact you could see the stars through the towering trees overhead. We spent only half an hour on the beach videotaping the small fish in one of the tide pools. The tide was out, but coming in.
We then drove to the gate, and were in luck. We did manage to get registered again for the next two nights, so we won’t be leaving until Friday. Though we’re not in the same site so had to set up the tent and the tarp again, it is a good site and more open than the last. The trees here are huge, so that to get the rope around them for the tarp you had to walk around the tree, you couldn’t just reach around it.
It was still foggy as we drove in to Tofino where we ate our lunch down at the kayak launching area, where there were some picnic tables. We then found the post office, and bought a stamped envelope so that I can mail a cheque to cover the cost of my speeding ticket. We located the library, which does have wireless access, but it isn’t open until three pm, and it’s only just after noon, so we didn’t want to wait around. The pharmacy has access, but not any USB drives open so that’s not going to work either. We finally found an Internet Cafe “Tuff Beans” which has wireless access, and so we are on-line for the price of a piece of carrot cake and some hot chocolate.
