We found a great little bakery for breakfast in Mission Beach, which is pretty easy because there are so many good breakfast lunch places close to the Catamaran Hotel.

This one had BIG warm Cinnamon Bun’s! It was my wonderful friend’s b-day and this is how we started the day, walking down in the sunshine to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Thoughts of snow and cold well behind us.

The cute little cafe (if you look closely you can see my extremely white Canadian winter legs reflected in the window):

Warm cinnamon bun with LOTS of icing and a latte (which comes with two chocolate covered espresso beans!):

So good and gave us the energy we needed for a lovely long walk along the beach and some shopping at a little market. Where my friend picked up the cutest striped shirt as a birthday present for herself, those are usually the best!

Then for lunch we went to a little taco stand for some outstanding fish tacos. So good! Also returned to have a beef burrito and again for chili rellenos. It was pretty much right next to the hotel, really good and cheap!
