Bella Pacifica (by Yvonne) - 15-20 July - Tofino
Weather - cool, misty, 14-18 degrees C. the clouds seem to clear at about 4:00 pm for about 5 min to 2 hrs later. Happy hours are warm to cool -depending on the sun. Campsite is very crowded and sites are small. Elaine & Ted and Al & Kathy have a lovely seaview (but are on a busy path). We are on the other side of the road because of the size of our rigs (Dave & Yvonne and Bruce & Gerry). Bruce just drove in and kept the truck attached
so they would have a view. Power was a problem and three of us tripped the breaker at least once.
Saturday we went to Tofino, a quaint little town with lots of gift and art shops. We toured the Roy Vickers gallery and all of us left with some art and gifts. That night we put our three propane campfires together and had a singsong. It has been very cool at night so this was our first. Kathy and Yvonne have 'snugglies' to bundle up in. The rest of us used blankets. Now we know why there were lots of campfires. (too smoky for me - Gerry)
We found a great bike path and went on excursions for groceries. The same little shopping centre had a great place for fish and chips which we all enjoyed for dinner one night. BC sure has great fresh seafood. We are so fortunate! The rest of the time we enjoyed 'Saundering' on the beach and even found time for a golf game. The course was rough and long. Most holes were 300 - 450 yards. Dave, Gerry and Yvonne played 9 holes together and Bruce, Al and Kathy did 18. We all slept very well that night.
