Heute wird gewandert! Komme was da wolle … Denn, wie man an der vereisten Scheibe sieht, ist es KALT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we will go hiking! Come what may … Because, as you can see, looking at the icy windshield, it is COLD!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

M\u00fctze auf und los …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don the cap and go …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zuerst machen wir den „Leuchtturm-Ring“. Ein Krebsfischer, genannt „Oyster Jim“ hat 1988 beschlossen, dass die Sch\u00f6nheit der K\u00fcste von Ucluelet den Leuten zug\u00e4nglich gemacht werden sollte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First we take the „Lighthouse Loop“. A shellfish farmer, called „Oyster Jim“ decided in 1988 that the beauty of the Ucluelet coastline should be made accessible for everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die vorgeschlagene Route ging \u00fcber Privatland, \u00fcber Stadt-, Provinz- und Bundesbesitz. Aber er hat sich nicht abschrecken lassen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed route crossed land owned by private, municipal, provincial and federal parties. But he was undeterred by that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So wie wir uns von der K\u00e4lte nicht abhalten lassen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like we did not let the cold keep us from hiking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Der Weg ist sehr sch\u00f6n angelegt, immer wieder gibt es kleine Abstecher n\u00e4her zum Wasser. Da hat man dann nat\u00fcrlich viele sch\u00f6ne Ausblicke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path is very nicely laid out, time and again there are little paths a bit closer to the water. There of course you always have great views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dann geht es wieder ein St\u00fcck weiter auf dem Hauptweg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you walk on again for a bit on the main path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An den B\u00e4umen kann man sehen, dass das Wachsen hier nicht so einfach ist: wenig Wurzeltiefe, viel Wind und Trockenheit im Sommer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the trees you can see that growing is not that easy here: the roots cannot go very deep, there is much wind, and dry weather in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die Aussichtspunkte sind mit Sitzb\u00e4nken ausgestattet, da kann man sch\u00f6n die Atmosph\u00e4re genie\u00dfen. – Wir waren ja mal wieder fr\u00fch dran, deswegen war der Parkplatz ganz leer gewesen, wir waren recht alleine. Bis auf dieses eine P\u00e4rchen, das wohl mit Ausblick fr\u00fchst\u00fccken wollte und sich partout nicht entscheiden konnte, wo sie jetzt mal sitzen bleiben wollen …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lookouts all had benches on offer, so you can wonderfully enjoy the atmosphere. – We were here once again bright and early, which is why the parking lot had been empty, we were almost alone. Except for this one couple which obviously wanted to have breakfast with a view, and which just could not decide where to finally stay put …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier jetzt der Leuchtturm, der diesem Abschnitt des langen Ucluelet Wanderweges seinen Namen gibt. Zwischendrin haben wir ein seltsames Pfeifen geh\u00f6rt: Die rote Boje! Je st\u00fcrmischer der Wind, desto lauter pfeift sie. Und die gr\u00fcne Boje hat eine Glocke. Auf die Weise k\u00f6nnen sich Seeleute an den T\u00f6nen orientieren und zwischen dem Pfeifen rechts und dem Gel\u00e4ut links den sicheren Kanal finden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here now you see the lighthouse to which this part of the long Ucluelet trail owes its name. In between we heard a strange whistling: The red buoy! The stronger the wind gets, the louder it whistles. And the green buoy has a bell. That way, sailors can orient themselves listening to the sounds, and can find the safe channel between the whistling on the right and the bell sounding on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir sind dann auch mal ein bisschen n\u00e4her ans Wasser – da schwemmt es alles m\u00f6gliche an. \u00dcbrigens: Entlang der Westk\u00fcste von Vancouver Island liegen hunderte von Schiffswracks, im „Graveyard of the Pacific“ (Pazifik-Friedhof).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did go a bit closer to the water at times – a lot of stuff is washed ashore. By the way: Along the west coast of Vancouver Island hundreds of ship wrecks lie in the water, in the „Graveyard of the Pacific“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Damit kann man durchaus auch Spa\u00df haben!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can definitely have fun with the stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… oder Schmerzen \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… or pain \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Da ist der sch\u00f6ne Ausblick eine willkommene Ablenkung \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just then the gorgeous view is a welcome distraction \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir wandern weiter und schauen, was es so zu sehen gibt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walk on and look what else is there to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die Luft war wunderbar klar, blauer Himmel – sch\u00f6n!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air was wonderfully clear, a blue sky – beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir durften allerdings auch nicht \u00fcberall hin …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were however not allowed to go wherever we wanted … <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wenn man den Weg die K\u00fcste entlang hinter sich hat, kommt noch ein Rundweg durch ein St\u00fcck Sumpf, mit vielen Infotafeln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have finished the hike along the coast, there is a little loop path through a bog, with lots of information tablets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Das war mal Teil eines Strommastes, der die Radiostation versorgt hat. \u00dcbrigens: Ucluelet war eine der ersten Gemeinden mit einer eigenen Telefongesellschaft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That used to be part of a power pole that served the radio station. By the way: Ucluelet was one of the first communities with their own telephone company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sind die Farben nicht toll im Sonnenlicht?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aren’t the colours just gorgeous in the sunlight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir haben mal wieder gr0\u00dfes Gl\u00fcck mit dem Wetter! Wobei es immer noch sehr k\u00fchl ist, um Mittag herum 9\u00b0C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again we are very lucky with the weather! But it is still quite cold, around noon just 9\u00b0C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hier wachsen ganz sch\u00f6n gro\u00dfe Pilze!
Quite large mushrooms grow here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, wir haben dann Mittagspause gemacht, in unserer H\u00fctte gabs lecker Pizza und feinen Nachtisch. Heute ist in Kanada Thanksgiving, da haben die Restaurants zu. – Und danach sind wir zu den „Ancient Cedars“ (den uralten Zedern).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, we had our lunch break now, in our little cottage we had yummy pizza and a tasty dessert. Today is Thanksgiving in Canada, the restaurants are closed. – And afterwards we went to the „Ancient Cedars“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Das war nur eine kleine Wanderung, aber diese gro\u00dfen B\u00e4ume sind sehr beeindruckend. – Man sieht ja, wie komisch wir beide aus der W\u00e4sche gucken \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only a small hike, but these large trees are really impressive. – You can see how dumbfounded the two of us look \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ja, und zum Abschluss haben wir uns die Seehunde nochmal genauer angesehen. Eine echt coole Truppe! Links der Elvis-Verschnitt, in der Mitte der Punk … <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, and to finish the day, we went to have another look at the seals. A really wicked gang! On the left the Elvis look-alike, in the middle the punk … <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Heute waren nicht alle so faul … wir haben auch mal welche im Wasser gesehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today they were not all that lazy … we also did spot a few in the water here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Winke-winke! Das wars f\u00fcr heute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wave bye-bye! That’s all for today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
