What's in Tofino ( other than us)



#1 on our list – Scott, Stacey, Presley, our new grandson ( Gracie ) and of course Weber the wonder dog. It was great seeing them, meeting and holding Gracie and spending time playing with Presley who has the most wonderful smile in the world.


#2 on our list – Crystal Cove Resort and RV park, our home away from home. This resort is directly across the road from Scott and Stacey.

#3 on our list – Tofino Hospital where we went when Jan's ankle seemed to be getting worse. The diagnosis? A tendon torn away from the fibula that took a good chunk of bone with it. Ankle is now in a cast and Jan is using crutches for at least 6 weeks. A real nasty injury.


Because of this mishap we stayed in a cabin instead of our small camper.

#4 on our list – Beaches and oceans



# 5 on our list – Wildlife such as eagles, bears and seals.





The eagle in the tree, swooped down within 20 ft of Jan and the dogs looking for lunch. scared the sh*t out of Jan.

# 6 on out list – The town of Tofino





Tofino harbour. There is also a great art Gallery in town featuring the art of Henry Vickers. See www.royhenryvickers.com

#7 on our list - Ukee dogs 

Located in Ucluelet, about 40 km from Tofino, Ukee dogs is a great little restaurant featuring a wonderful and weird assortment of hot dogs. Received a 4 1/2  star rating from trip adviser.



#8 on our list - Tsunami warning sirens.

After the earth quake in BC, the Tsunami sirens went off in Tofino and the area was evacuated to the public school (the high point in the town of Tofino). The evacuation went smooth and lasted for a couple of hours. We were thankful it turned out to be  a false alarm.
