We are heading for Tofino
Hello Folks, I had planned to post to the log more often, but most places we went had no cell signal or internet connection. We truly were out in the middle of BC wilderness. And I am happy to let you know that Ian and I have fallen in love with this part of the country. We have met some wonderful people during our travels and hope to keep in touch …

Eine große Reise zu einer tollen Insel
... Die Stadt war die Reise aber auf jeden Fall wert. Es ist eine sehr idyllische,malerische Stadt.

-Schooner Cove
-Radar Hill

These boats are enormous, I figure out that 300 vehicles can fit in them (trucks, RVs, motorbikes, cars...), and of course, lots of walking passengers. The route is more than 1 hour, so we climb to the top board to enjoy the views and the sun, but as soon as the boat starts sailing, the wind is quite cold, and we decide to get into the bar and wait comfortably seated and reading the informations about the island ...
