We left the RV in Nanaimo and took a 4 day mini vacation and drove 135 miles west to the Pacific side of Vancouver Island to a town called Ucluelet. We stayed in a lovely cottage where the road ends at the Pacific Ocean.

Being on the west side of the island we had great sunsets while hiking the wild pacific trail. The weather typically is cloudy and wet, but the weather gods were were with us and gave us clear skies and temperature reaching nearly 80.

As we kayaked we saw Black Bears, Eagles, Star Fish and Sea Lions. The Sea Lions swam and barked along side us beckoning us to get out of the kayak and play. The bear tipped rocks, as if they were feathers, looking for food. We stayed our distance, but Karen without realizing it drifted a little close. We wandered how fast they can swim.
