Tofino Continued..



I'm back!!!...Again. The rest of my days I spent relaxing. I went to the beach for two days. I don't really have the words to describe it so instead I bombard this post with photos.





In between my beach days, I spent the day at Hot Springs Cove. To get out there you either have to fly or boat out. I chose both from Jamie's Whaling Station. We were provided full body red insulated suits that made us look like we were headed to a spaceship instead of off to a boat. We were supposed to take a covered boat, but as it was being fixed, we took an open boat instead. The boat ride was a lot of fun, even though it was a bit bumpy as we were on the open ocean. We had the opportunity to see dolphins, whales, and seals. 



When we arrived we were sent off to follow a wood plank path into the middle of the island. I smelt the hot springs before I actually saw them. The springs itself is a bit small and was crowded later on, but luckily I had opted to take the first boat out so we were the first in the springs.


If you take the roundtrip on the boat you get about an hour or two there, but because I was taking the plane back I got a little bit longer to wander about and explore the island a bit. I've never been on a seaplane before, but I'm glad I took the opportunity. The aerial views were spectacular. 





So after a week in Tofino, with my pockets empty, I headed out of town and back towards Alberta.
