Tofino Hostel

... 10pm but I was too tired so stayed in and went to bed. This morning I got up early and went for a walk around Tofino.  This is a fishing village but I think most of the money now comes from tourists.  The permanent population is about 2,000 ...

... far the best hostel ive ever stayed at and if u go say hey to JR, the managers son, hes a good guy. Fri hit Long Beach and in the evening hit the only bar in town. The rest of my Tofino stay is highlighted at ...

... Sonne an unserem Strand genossen. Wir haben dann auf jeden Fall einen Fehler begangen: wir haben naemlich fuer 2 Naechte Betten im Hostel reserviert, weil des eigentlich ganz geil dort ist, und nicht unbedingt Hostel like. Aber nicht so schlimm, weil wir ...

... trail. It looks like I'll be heading back to Vancouver on monday, as I really need to find some work. As much as I would like to stay in Tofino, rented accommodation is few and far-between and I could't afford to stay in the hostel the whole ...

... mehr so spaet noch dorthin faehrt. Irgendwann ist dann aber doch noch ein kleines Auto stehen geblieben, das in Richtung Tofino unterwegs war. Eigentlich wollten wir ja nach Ucluelet, aber immer noch besser als in Port Alberni zu bleiben. Allerdings ...

... voor het volgende reisje naar Seattle. Dat zal dus mijn laatste reisje zijn hier in Canada. Kort en goed dus, Tofino (op Vancouver Island) was fantastisch, een klein en rustig dorpje van 1600 inwoners, totaal niet te vergelijken met Vancouver dus. ...

... , Sproat Lake with the Marten Mars Water Bombers Fire base (on the water), Wickaninnish Beach (with an interpretive centre). Then onto the Hostel.   The stop at the beach was only brief - It was lovely and the first proper bit of beach I had ...

... Kong kennengelernt (wie praktisch, dass sie einen Europaeischen Namen hat). Sie war auch alleine unterwegs, und so haben wir Tofino zusammen erkundet. In einem kleinen Dorf bedeutet das soviel wie zusammen Fish und Chips essen, und zusammen die ...

... and their friend Tim, all from Manchester) hung out at the beach today and took it very easy.   Had a quick look around Tofino this morning with Tim, Michael (from Germany) and Matteo (Italy), really not too much to see   - but we did ...

... , but the site itself was awesome, and there was a really long boardwalk through the rainforest that was really interesting. Tofino is a wonderful place. A really old fashioned fishing village that has managed to keep hold of its old world charm whilst ...

... . I thought it would be a lot bigger but it is tiny and absolutely beautiful. Lakes, forests, great surf (stu boy) and the hostel is amazing. Great beds, great views, hotel style bathrooms and the people are so chilled out. I am going to emigrate to this ...

... was a really natural setting and definitely worth a visit. When we got back Owen had prepared a barbecue for us for dinner on the hostel patio and then we headed back down to the beach for a campfire - my torch came in very handy as it was dark ...

... if I hadn't got out the way. So some punk kid ended up with my deck instead, but what can you do? Next, to Tofino.... (actually, in between these times the only thing of note that happened was we were in a car accident on the way home from a club - ...

... , but made for some pretty atmospheric photos.After a couple of hours I got a bit cold, so I headed back to the hostel- via Tofino Chocolates for a half pint of homemade icecream, a basil and white chocolate praline and a wild honey chocolate! Figured I'd ...

... with spines and posture intact, and decided to check out the town (What do you mean there's no McDonalds?!). Only problem, Tofino, being a small town (population 1650) doesn't really have anything open after 8pm. Pizza pops for dinner it was. The hostel ...
