Hornby Island

Here we are, at yet another of my FAVOURITE places! We were blessed yesterday, getting here. We left the beach near Tofino around three and somehow got on the last ferry at 6pm with ten minutes to spare - and we were the second-last car on! Then I called and found that Seabreeze Lodge had an empty cabin for us and prices don't go up till July 1st. So, we arrived and found that on Monday nights they have a lovely home-cooked buffet with lemon-meringue pie for dessert and on top of that, they had a new margarite-making maching so we just had to try it.

Morgane was happy to see the kids' park and the horse. We were happy to see the view (straight out of our cottage and also our bedroom window) and the grass tennis courts. It's super quiet except for the quiet calls of birds. An eagle flew over my head while I was outside (cooling off after a hot tub). All we see from here is the ocean and in the distance, Texada Island, and the snowy peaks of the mountains on the mainland.

Today Morgane found a friend, but right now she is taking a much needed nap after our long day of travelling yesterday. When she gets up, perhaps we'll go exploring a bit. But staying here is pretty nice for now.

I used to come here as a kid, as a teenager, as a young adult. It's great to be back. It hasn't changed much, but I have.
