This morning a member of our travelling party got out of the wrong side of the bed and the bad breakfast and nonexistent coffee made things worse, so when we got to the beautiful Lake Quinault, that grumpy person who shall remain nameless was sent off by the rest of the travelling party for a long swim in the lake alone.
Somewhat revived we all enjoyed a leisurely paddle in a canoe, particularly those at the front and middle who gave up paddling halfway back.
There was some sumo wrestling to follow with Oscar winning round one and Ruby taking round two.

After a brief stop at a place called Ruby beach we took a walk through the Hoh Rainforest, the densest, wettest, greenest and most surreal temperate rainforest on Earth according to Lonely Planet. Afterwards we headed for the nearest town because the unnamed grumpy traveller was hungry and if you happen to know that person you'll now how that story goes ( but before you point the finger remember these things run in families).
We arrived in Forks simply looking for some food but it seemed everyone else was here to tour the sites of the Twilight books and films. If I'd read those books I may have known the story is set in Forks but it wasn't until I noticed not one but two merchandise stores selling souvenirs of that spunky young man and scowly-faced woman that I realised something was up.
