Ucluelet Adventure - Day I

So having arrived the night before to Vancouver, we woke up early this morning to drive to get onto the ferry to Nainamo.  The destination today is Ucluelet - a place on the west side of Vancouver island and what they call near the Pacific Rim (ie. touching the Pacific ocean).

The unit we stayed at was pretty good.  The deal came up on Groupon (or was it Living Social?), and it was a unit with a private outdoor hot tub outside, and an unit facing water and mountains... Waaaa.  Ballller!  Groupon deal for the win!  (The picture is the view from right outside the unit).

First thing we did once we got there?... Take a nap :).  It was a long drive and ferry - almost 6 hours in commute to get here.  Unfortunately though, this weekend the weather wasn't too great and it is forecasted to be gloomy and raining all weekend :(. 

As an aside, loading up on groceries at a convenience store.. They REALLY jack up the prices - $3.59 for coke?!.. talk about tricking tourists!
