Moving on

While our accommodation in Ucluelet was comfortable but a little basic - a comfortable bed and a good shower - it had good fast wifi so we were able to do a bit of planning for the next leg of our trip and  I was also able to get my new tablet restarted.

So after a little net surfing we went for an evening walk along the lighthouse trail and then headed into town for a seafood dinner at the 'best fish restaurant in town' not realising that it was Monday evening - the only night that it was closed.

Thankfully we found 'Hanks untraditional BBQ restaurant' and felt that we had to check it out just because of the name. Turned out to be a good choice with a great selection of local beers and excellent menu.

On the road early, after a quick breakfast at Zoe's Bakery, we arrived back with Andi and Uncle Stan in time for coffee and cake - and the obligatory photo on the front porch:

We had booked a room at the Union Club in Victoria - not realising that they had a fairly strict dress code - but they were quite understanding as we checked in and after dropping off the bags headed off to Fisherman's Wharf for a late lunch at the Sushi Bar.

The water taxi ride on the way back gave us a good view of the inner harbour and we then wandered up Government Street looking for somewhere for dinner.

Having dressed for dinner in accordance with the requirements of the dress code, we stopped into the Club bar for an aperitif, but beat a hasty retreat and ended up at 10 Acres Kitchen across the road where the Brazilian sommelier and Quebecois waiter took very good care of us, Interesting local wine - Unsworth Sauvignette - and a decent meal after which we wandered over to the Irish Times for a quiet nightcap - which proved difficult because of a couple of  new found friends at the bar and the two musicians in the corner - one of those occasions when it would have been good to have Jimmy C with me to teach them some manners.
