... develop film these days!
We continued on from the beach into Tofino, which is a little smaller than we thought it would be, but once again a nice little town. We tried to do a little cruising around and shopping, although most of the stores were full of surfer gear, so.....we didn't buy much.

Zusammenfassend kann man ueber die Tour folgendes sagen. Bucht man auf eine Hot Springs Tour, sollte man morgens wach genug sein und realisieren, dass diese wahrscheinlich ein Bad in heissen Quellen beinhaltet...und sich entsprechend kleiden.
