TOFINO: day 28

Beaut day when we woke, realising with the daylight that we were camping in the most insane place. We were next to some water falls, with smooth rocks above them creating pools of crystal clear, icy water you could chill in (if you like that Wim Hof kinda thing). 

There were a fair few others camping, but it didn’t feel crowded. The sun was out, we made some new friends and contemplated sacking off a day in Tofino to stay here. But having already spent $$ booking a boujee campsite, we decided against it. Made a lux brekky of french toast with banana, went for a quick dip in the river then packed up to head to the beaches. I enjoyed the drive, lots of v good views. 

I love Tofino and am so excited to be back. But already the new world has made things a little weird. The long, socially distant queues into the tiny shops makes it feel like it is crawling with people.

Hired surfboards then headed to the campsite to check in. After so many weeks of wild camping/sub par campsites, we really have treated ourselves. Our campsite had a power plug AND a tap. I immediately showered to remember the feeling of warm water on my skin. LUXURY. As nice as nature baths are, I will never take a warm shower for granted ever again. 

Went for a walk along the beach, wowee stunning. Thought about surfing but also was getting tired and hungry and still needed to buy food. We have all week to surf.

Went back into town for a food shop, Isaac made an delish dinner with sweet potato mash and pan fried salmon. YUM. It feels oddly like home here.
