Ucluelet Day 2

I found the view absolutely mesmerizing at Whiskey Landing Lodge

It was so interesting watch night become day

So eerily beautiful



at dawn!

We were off for breakfast 

at Blackrock Resort where you get a fantastic view with breakfast

and easy access to the Wild Pacific Trail.

where we had a beautiful walk

though no whales this time

It was beautiful but we had other places to go...

Here we are at beautiful Wickannish Beach

it was a beautiful day but breezy enough

for surfers to be out!

Pacific Rim National Park is so beautiful with lovely resorts along the way

I think this was at Wickannish Inn...

Soon it was lunch time and Val and I are fans of Tacofino where they have the best tacos

followed by ice cream cones at Chocolate Tofino and a little shopping in Tofino (sorry no pictures)

After lunch we stopped at Middle Beach Lodge where they have this lovely beach!

And then finally another beach on our way back to Ucluelet...

One patient dog

and back to our million dollar view in Ucluelet

and then to dinner at Matterson House

and our evening view...

a lovely day

in

Paradise...

Vancouver to Port Alberni to Ucluelet September 20, 2016

A year ago I went to a Room to Read fundraiser and actually won two nights at Whiskey Landing Lodge in Ucluelet.  

I had been in Ucluelet in June and had stayed at Water's Edge where my timeshare has units.  

But Ucluelet is a place that I always enjoy visiting.

It was a beautiful day as you can see above by the sunrise about 7 am.

It was a perfect day for a ferry ride.

Our first real stop was at my friends since high school, Art and Jenny who have a hobby farm just outside of Port Alberni.  Above those are actually buzzards.

As you can see there is lots of not so wild life here as well!

After lunch and a tour, we went on another adventure to McLean Mill.

It was not really open officially

but he had fun wandering around...

looking at what was once a thriving lumber mill and has now been made into a community based attraction.

We saw where the McLean family once lived

Below is what was once the office...

We really enjoyed our visit. And then we were off to Ucluelet. My first visit to Ucluelet was in 1980 and Art and Jenny and their children were living there as Art taught high school French there for five years before they moved to Port Alberni.

Whiskey Landing is right on the waterfront in Ucluelet

and our lovely suite had an amazing view

as you can see!

We were quite content to just watch the world go by

and enjoy!!!

Stay tuned for Day 2!!!
