Tofino on Labour Day Weekend

I and my wife with three friends were in Tofino last weekend. This is a view from the back doors of the three bedroom accommodations we stayed in. The beach is just over the treeline.

On the way to Tofino we stopped at Coombs, did a little grocery and book shopping, and ate at Cuckoos. I had my soup of the day and vegetable Italian sandwich.


On our first night my wife and I had already made pasta, pesto, and tomato sauce from scratch and combined it with a kale and tomato Italian style fry with vegetables from our garden. To finish we had a selection of great chocolates from Chocolate Tofino. Sadly there are no pictures of the spread as we were all quite hungry.

The next day I went out chanterelle hunting with a friend. Lots of interesting scenery with very few people. A huge slug.


Nice moss and ferns on rocks.


Mossy trees.


I got a significant haul of chanterelles too!


After I came back my wife and I took a stroll along the beach.



As a group we went to Wolf in the Fog for another fantastic meal. Potato encrusted oysters was first. 


Then the seaweed salad, with tuna.


Finally grilled mackerel.


The next day was a short walk in the foggy morning with my wife before driving home.
