Tofino - Miles near Pacific !

June 26 -27

Travelling during weekends has became a routinous job this summer. We were blessed with very good GSA's [Globalink Student Associates]. This time Deepansh and Harshul planned a trip to Tofino. Tofino is situated on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada.

As par schedule we were to left by 5 am and reach ferry station on cars rented. I waked by 4 am - probably the 1st in our group of students interning at UBC. I was expected normal things that morning. As usual I decided to get my bread ready over flying pan. But unfortunately, brought my unit of building to music on a weekend to as early as 5 am. Fire Alarm here are too sensitive and I am bit unsensitive, so smoke of my half an hour unattended bread on flame triggered fire alarm.

Anyways, after around 45 min drive in car we reached ferry station. Technology I must say is so awesome here. You can carry your entire car inside ferry. Ferry carried me to land I have never seen.

Although there are many memories associated with this trip ... but I will particularly like to mention a few now.

My friends still tease of saying"yeh ATM se keval Pepsi, Cok hi nikalta hai"
Also Harshul's nbd and rush at 200 km/hr to catch the last ferry. (That was such an addrenaline rush)

Hopefully I will complete this post sometime later..
