I saw one of these featured on “The Long Way Up”, an awesome vehicle and one the UK should get building quickly. I want one of these, a Rivian. All electric SUV, awesome.
In comparison to the deluge yesterday, today is simply baking. Now in search of beaches on Tofino.
Looking for a beach HERE
Welcome to TOFINO
Long drive today with the last 20km in torrential storms. Currently sat here waiting for the rain to ease so we can get some grub.
There was some spectacular scenery on the way here
We stopped HERE for a little boys room, but as you wander round the store, it has so so much more than the UK, tonnes of fresh fruit and veg (not the paltry few items we see). Food counters to buy lunch with all arrays of Chinese, American, Sushi to name a few items, what do we get soggy fish and chips or a cold bacon roll.
Tomorrow is the longest haul 3 hours plus driving from the quaint towns of Chemainus and Duncan up to Tofino with some long long long winding roads.
Chemainus is HERE
On the road from Port Renfrew to Chemainus. Pretty little towns, long empty mountain tracks and the occasional logging trucks. Oh and a random bonsai tree growing out of a log in a lake.
Next stop Duncan.
We stopped for coffee and a toilet break HERE
What a relaxing stay in beautiful scenery. Back to civilisation tonight with a 2 hrs drive to get there and 25 degree temperatures- a bit different to the 15 here this morning!
Like a scene from an apocalyptic movie or the land that time forgot, the beach across from the accommodation looks somewhat unworldly and barren, shrouded in sea fret for 90% of the day.
Out for a black and white photo shoot (what other type is there), with my very own Rachel Welch (only wearing a few more clothes tho).
Beatiful scenery and some amazing driftwood can be found HERE
With all this lovely sunshine the solar is pretty much paying for itself, in the last week we have exported 1.210 times more electricity than we have actually used. Now I know it has been unusually sunny, but we ain’t complaining (especially since you get paid for each KWh you export).
All houses should be built with this as standard.
