Today, Bob and I completed our Sidney, BC housesit for the sweet and very special Rafa.
Based on the homeowner’s (and later other’s) recommendation, we drove from Sidney to Tofino for a visit to the west side of the island before the start of our next housesit on Friday. While it is only just over 200 miles from Sidney to Tofino, it is nearly a 5 hour drive due to the windy and curvy roads as well as some roadwork on the way. We also hit a bit of rain today just to add to the fun.
We are staying at the Lunar Cove Inn, which we reserved through AirBnB. We got a scare last night when Bob found some info online that the inn had closed. We had been receiving texts about our stay, so we reached out and learned that we are the last guests as the owners have sold the place. I was a bit worried driving here, but we do actually have a room that is as advertised. We are about a block off the main section of Tofino.
Tofino and this area of the west coast of Vancouver Island attracts surfers, hikers, nature lovers, and bird watchers. It is just outside the Pacific Rim National Park, which we hope to visit while here. It has a couple of great hiking/biking trails as well as numerous beaches.
