We started driving towards Tofino. The surf culture in Tofino was surprising. Every person you run into looks like a surfer. People have surfboards attached to their bikes and cars everywhere. We settled in to see the Anchor Lookout near a beautiful harbour. John was asleep and the girls wanted to go to a park, I took the kids; Jo-Ce and Gen wandered the town looking to pick up some food. No luck in town but Gen found a fantastic take-out counter in the Pacific Sands Beach Resort nearby.
We settled into chairs around a natural gas fireplace to wait for the food. Nearby was a beach with surfers working the waves.
Our last stop was Wickaninnish Beach for a last chance to see ocean life. We walked the beach and checked out some tidal pools. The kids played with driftwood before we piled into the car once more for the hour drive back to Port Alberni.
On our way we saw a bear on the side of the road until it ambled away into the bush. As we waited at a construction stop, we found three more huge slugs on the side of the road. It was dark by the time we reached the trailer.
