6:00pm
At 8:30 this morning there was a knock at the door for breakfast....and it was delicious!! Mathew had both the poached eggs while I had some of the fruit, a muffin, and multi-grain bread with raspberry jam – the bread was VERY nice and warm too. A satisfyingly filling breakfast.
We set off today for a walk. We went to Wickanninnish Beach and the Interpretive Centre, both of which had LOTS of school kids and some construction work going on . . .it was all a bit odd. It was as though ALL the schools near Tofino had decided to come here on the same day!

Our walk didn’t begin at the beginning..! We walked along the beach and joined the ACTUAL trial called “Nuu-chah-nulth-ait” 
and continued through to the end at another beach, where we wished we’d taken one of the beach towels from the bathroom and brought it with us to sit on and have lunch. Anyhoo, the trail was 2.5km one way (I have NO idea why we are more often given the length of a walk one way, rather than there and back....!)...and we went both ways....so that was 5km altogether, which was pretty damn good for me!

It was quite fun, and it took us right through temperate rain forest, bringing us out at a beach at the other end where we found one of the MANY bits of driftwood to lean against and have lunch. Mathew took off his boots and socks and “paddled” at the water’s edge. I sat back and let my lunch digest, looking throug
h the binoculars for the bear which we had been told of my a couple who had walked from the other end of the beach...no luck though!

I would have gone paddling but its not really my thing...plus I hate walking on sand. Even in shoes! If sand didn’t stick to me then I wouldn’t have a problem with it! Anyway, we went on out way back towards Wickanninnish Beach on the trail, and arrived safely back at the car. I couldn’t believe how tired I was feeling. We went back to the B&B and at 4:00pm we lay on the bed and fell fast asleep for over and hour! We weren’t going for a walk on the beach before dinner then...!! 6:00pm came along and I decided to get back up to date with my Scrap booking and Journaling.
We went out for dinner and say outside – it wasn’t too cloudy. We finished with a walk on the beach and ended up seeing a partial sunset. Nice colours, but too many clouds......maybe third time lucky
tomorrow?
