Tofino, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

 Tofino is the Hawaii of Canada. Puneet and I visited there for my birthday celebrations in April. He surely made the deal to make it my most special birthday!


Also, this is the place where they shot Twilight movie - part 2 (New Moon).

We had rented the car and traveled across the Island. The beautiful view of the trees which were shaped as seen in the pics were due to heavy storms that usually happen in this area.

It is very famous for storm watching and whale watching. Fun for those who are adventurous.

 We stayed at Pacific Sands resort. It had a kitchenette and I did basic cooking. It was oceanfront and had spectacular ocean views with beautiful sun rise and sun set.


The beaches were clean and pristine, as if never touched - no weed and pacific ocean is so wild, but very calming at the same time..
