As we are leaving Rathtrevor for the day, we realize it is low tide and want to see how expansive the beach is at low tide. We are able to walk out at least a kilometer. Really quite amazing.

Chris takes a photo from a sign post and we plan to return tonight at 8pm for high tide to see the difference.

After the beach we head to Little Qualicum Falls and do the hour long walk around them. Pictures can't even begin to portray the beauty and the sound of the rushing water as it falls. Well worth the visit. Nice campground too for another time.
After we head to Cameron Lake a bit further down highway #4. The area is so rugged and remote. It begins to rain a bit but we still unload the kayaks and head out.

It begins to rain quite hard but we don't rush. The experience of kayaking through the rain with low cloud all around us is quite surreal.

We head back to the trailer via the town of Coombs and stumble on this Dutch Store. After poking about inside for a bit, Sheila buys some stroopwafel - a Dutch treat made of thin rounds of cake held together with syrup and caramel. Yum.

Back to the trailer to warm up as we are still chilled from the kayak in the rain. Later we hop on our bikes and head back to the same spot we took the low tide picture from this morning. It is shocking the difference.
