Tofino Time

When we were thinking about getting out of the city for a few days after the holidays we were soon thinking of Tofino as the perfect getaway. We were already amazed by its beauty and tranquility on our first visit 2 years ago.

Tofino is a small intimate town at the end end of the Trans Canada Highway on Vancouver Island. It's where the ancient rain forest meets the Pacific Ocean. Yes it rains a lot here, but when it gets too cold to rain it will snow. For the local surfers neither rain nor snow nor temperatures just above 0° C are a reason not to go surfing if there are big enough waves. We had it all in 3 days. Beautiful sunshine and sunset, rain and hours of snowing. We were glad to spend the time when it was snowing at the cosy fireplace of our hostel reading and drinking hot beverages.
