More water sports the next day, with a rafting trip along the Hoh river in the heart of the rainforest.
Scorching sun meant we took the opportunity to cool off in the river – floating gently past the trees was superb. Karen even managed to colour-coordinate her outfit – now that’s style.
The next day, we breezed through the Twilight town of Forks – where I picked up some Fang Floss, Bella’s SPF15 lip balm (eh?) and my favourite merchandise tat – Dr Cullen’s Hand Sanitiser. Hilarious.
Then straight on to Third Beach on the Pacific Ocean – a rough camp this on the beach itself, requiring a 1.5-mile walk with all our stuff (including our precious duvet!).
It seems the walk tired some of us out…
The sleeping bag was necessary because of a slight meteorological miscalculation: burning sun inland + cold ocean + no winds = heavy mist. That didn’t stop me taking a dip, of course.
And it certainly gave the beach an eerie atmosphere. In the end, it was just too damp to stay two nights.
