hi we travelled to the west coast today and saw the Pacific Ocean. We are on what they call the Pacific Rim.

There is a long stretch of beaches collectively called Long Beach . We are in a B&B for 2 nights and it seems ok. I’m sitting in the back garden on a veranda writing this. We have toured the length of this sandy beach. There are surfers everywhere and young people. We feel very old. It is cooler on the West coast and a cold wind. Maybe this is preparing us for Newfoundland!  

 There is a rainforest and small rocky coves filled with beautiful white sand. It is very picturesque. The only drawback I can see/hear is a continual fog horn…oh  dear. There is a long path called the Wild Pacific Trail which we intend to walk. 

 We treated ourselves out for dinner tonight. We had clams in a tomato basted chili sauce (they cooked mine without chili ) followed by halibut wrapped in Parma ham on risotto rice with peas and with asparagus Cherry tomatoes. It was delicious 

Tomorrow we are going to explore this headland some more before we head further North on the Campbell River for the rest of the week.

Love you all xxx
