hey,

Oh man ich habs jetzt aufgeben das Tag fuer Tag zuversuchen zu aktualisieren. Bin jetzt schon wieder total im Verzug mit den Blog, deswegen versuche ich euch langsam mal wieder up to date zu bringen.

Let's go!

After the first day we drove at the next day to Port Alberni. There we spent only one night. Then we continue travelling.
With the best weather we drove through the Alberni Valley. That's a very beautiful valley with big lakes, huge Mountains, a nice river with salmons inside and a lot of trees. There we saw an eagle and many samlons around the river. The climate here is very wet because of that there developed a continental rainforest in a very long period.
The rainforest here is just amazing there are huge trees more than 1000 years old. More than 100 animals live with tree in one eviroment. You can see salmons and a lot of other animals in the rivers.
The coast of the island is very tough. Big waves smashed against the rocks. It's a landscape where you can't find words for.

In the small villages like Tofino and Ucuelet you can meet a lot of surfers at the beaches. The most famous one is th long beach. And woh this beach is really long. It's the dream of every surfer to get the perfect wave. Benny and Julex tried surfing too. But it's not so easy and very exhausting. The landscape here in Tofino looks like in New Zealand. Everywhere in the village you can find many native art gallerys, surf shops and hotels. Tofino is a great place. There we spent about 4 days.

After this days we drove back to Nanaimo on the same way, because of it's the only way you can drive. In Nanaimo we walked through the city and then we finished travelling on thee island and took the ferry back to Vancouver on the mainland.
