Yesterday we went to the beautiful Chesterman beach which is just across the road from our house. The light is spectacular late in the afternoon. Sam and Karin and Josh and I went in to Tofino earlier and had a look at some of the shops. The best bit was when we went down to the dock area and we could see the amazing panorama – mountains, trees, the sea – absolutely spectacular. I took a panoramic shot – awesome. On the way back we stopped to look at a restaurant called Shelters. Who should be there but Jane, Simon and Rowan. We had some lunch and I had a Stanley Park beer – yummy! We set off home but we went on a bit of an adventure – drove down to a resort hotel down the road which was very posh – looked at the amazing (yes the views definately boringly, fantastic every time!)view before we drove out and then into another resort called Ocean View, where there were some little log cabins that reminded us of Hobbits houses. Lovely! We had another Christmas dinner and played Phase 10 until 12.30 am – we thought it would never end! Today I went to the beach after I got up and the waves were quite something. There were lots of surfers, walkers and dogs. I took a lot of photographs! I came back and then we had a run to Long Beach, dropped Jane off to go for a coffee with Sam, and Simon took me to Tofino for some postcards. Now sitting by the fire with Rowan on line on his phone at the side of me and Josh in his usual position laid on couch on his ipad. Think we are going out for meal to Shelters later – the last supper! Been so relaxing here. We must pack to be out for 11am which is ok because we will go for one last look at the beach, have a coffee and cake in the nearby posh Wikinish Inn (not sure I’ve spelt that right) and then set off towards Nananimo and the ferry. Probably call at the Goats on the roof market at Coombs on the way back. Been lovely to see Sam and Karin – hoping to go to see them in Victoria one weekend in January. </a> <img src="http://blogs.bootsnall.com/freejan/files/2012/12/DSC00768-150×150.jpg" alt="" title="dogs on chesterman beach" width="150" height="150" class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-164" />
