Tofino weekend - august 2008

We went to Vancouver Island again - this time to the surf town of Tofino!

Mick & Tom, Joe, Matty & Amber CJ and myself spent a long weekend checking out Ucluelet and Tofino. Surfed Wickannish Beach, then met up with Sebastian; went whale-watching and visited the thermal waterfall in Hot Springs Cove.

We stopped in Sproat Lake Provincial Park - under the massive ancient trees

Sproat Lake Provincial Park trees		 This vast tree trunk was laid on the Stamp River rock flats - how it got there, no one knows..!

Joe leaping waterfalls		 We were SOOO close to this bear, literally 10ft away - and it was so chilled about it...!

This boat has been beached on an island in Tofino harbour, and converted into a permanent house!
