This is our cabin at Nanoose Bay.

This morning we got up and Pat and Hayley went for a bush walk, it involved ropes, so I opted to stay at the cabin and clean up etc!! Then we drove into Nanaimo.

Oh an observation on this part of the world, everyone drives around in massive pick-up trucks or SUV’s, they are huge, they make our Toyota Hiluxes and similar vehicles look like toys, seriously there are thousands of massive trucks here and they are normal!!

Anyway, look what we saw! Cabelas, oh my goodness this is Hunting and Fishing on mega steroids. We were talking to one of the salesmen and he said the shops in the USA are huge, they have casting tanks so you can try out your lures in the water, rifle ranges etc. had a great look around it was an ‘activity’, not shopping, could have spent ages there, like a kid in a candy shop. Here’s some pictures for Dad and Pat Paulin, ha!!

Then back on the ferry, this time we took a different ferry and it docked at Horseshoe Bay, just on dark, thank goodness Pat knew where we were going as it was peak hour traffic, he did a great job to get us home. And just to prove that the sun does come out in Vancouver, some pictures from the ferry.
