Nanaimo BC

This is a pretty little city on the west coast of Vancouver Island, about 75 miles north of Victoria. Timber and fishing are the main commercial activities and it is known for a local confection called the Nanaimo Bar; a layer of milk chocolate and a layer of creme filling topped with a layer of chocolate and coconut. Yummy! We found a terrific RV site on a bluff overlooking the water and the town. The rain has stopped and we are enjoying beautiful sunny weather.

The modern downtown marina has a large park, some nice shops and coffee houses and a little floating seafood bar that has the best fish & chips we have had anywhere.



We will spend a couple of days here and then continue north along the coast.
