Vancouver Island - Nanaimo

 

Hi Everyone,

My family is travelling around Vancouver Island this week! I will do a series of posts, to tell you about each location. First of all, we took a bus to Vancouver (and we saw some CUTE AS GOSLINGS WITH THEIR PARENTS!!!!!), then a ferry to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island (the ferry was very comfortable, and had nice creamy white coloured seats). It was an okay city, a bit dirty, but we had fun all the same. We ate some fish and chips on a floating restaurant tied to the pier, which was cool and the food was yummy, but no where near as good as Aussie fish and chips and they didn't have potato cakes (I did NOT approve of that part).  Our hotel was pretty nice, and the beds were SOOOO COMFY!!! Since we were in Nanaimo, we just HAD to try a Nanaimo bar! We bought one and cut in into 4 so we could share. It was really good!! For those you you who don't know what a Nanaimo bar is, it's a no-bake slice that has 3 layers, a chocolate cookie crumb sort of one at the bottom, then a banana cream one then chocolate at the top. Very tasty :).

Oh! Also in Nanaimo there are heaps of stray RABBITS!! Lily was very happy, as they are not wild rabbits, they are dumped domesticated rabbits who bred a lot (very sad, but also cute!) We saw 9 in total. Some of them had flopped onto their stomachs to cool themselves down, which was very cute!

Write more soon,
