Night two in Ucluelet

After a very comfortable sleep we got up and went to the Co-op deli/cafe where we purchased some food and ate our breakfast.

With tummies full we headed north to Long Beach where  after walking the beach for a kilometre or two we ate a picnic lunch right on the beach using our lawn chairs that we have been dragging around all this trip. Very very nice meal (purchased at the Co-op deli). Shortly after that we began working our back here to Ucluelet. 25,600 steps later (according to Caro's fit bit) we had completed both loops of the rain forest trail, the south beach trail and the bog trail. All were amazingly beautiful and awe inspiring. As  well as that we saw the Kwisitis Visitor Centre to learn more about the native tribes.

Evening saw us trying a local delicacy. Raw oysters!!  Yup in a moment of insanity we each decided to try a raw oyster. Ummm let's just say that after sliding it down my throat my thought was "OK done that;time for fish and chips",and that is what we did!

Tonight we are staying in a different motel from last night. At first glance our reaction was "oh no-we made a mistake"-we had pre-booked through Hotels.com so we had to take the room,but looks were deceiving as the room is clean. As I write this we are sitting on the veranda outside the room looking across to the town fishing marina. Kinda neat to see all the charter fishing vessels ( which is what this place caters too).

All in all another fabulous day!!
