Those of us who reside in British Columbia are experiencing extremely chilly, record low temperatures in these latter days of November.
Across Vancouver Island record snow blankets the ground and the surrounding flora and fauna as a cold front from B.C.’s Interior has snuck in, creating a beautiful Pacific, pre-Christmas winter wonderland.
Surprisingly, the roads were not all that treacherous along Highway 4, as we were able to make pretty good time on our sojourn, on the way to Middle Beach Lodge, near Tofino, for a few days of rest and relaxation.
We stopped in at Tim Horton’s in Port Alberni for a bit of lunch (an oh so delicious warming chili, garlic toast and a coffee), and by noon were on our way again, arriving at our destination on Canada’s west coast a bit before 2 p.m. Once we registered at the front desk, up we went to Room 44, with a private balcony, and a spectacular view of the pristine Pacific Ocean.
Later tonight, we’ll post our final video of the day: the pacific view from Middle Beach Lodge’s Room 44
