Here are some photos from the ferry to Nanaimo. It was called the Queen of Alberni. This is where we played our amazing game of ninja :)
My crazy adventure partners! From the left... Rachel, Hilary, Sarah Anne and Tracy :)
When we were exploring in Nanaimo before we found our way to Sarah Anne's aunt and uncle's house we found a beach! It was pretty cool. We could see where we had come in on the ferry.
The girls decided they would start a sword fight with random sticks on the beach...
It was pretty funny... but they were really good!! ;P
To get to the beach that was super close to where we were staying in Nanaimo, we walked down a hill and down all these stairs (way more than in the picture...) The worst bit was walking back up them afterwards!!!
Lovely rocky beach :P
With piles of seaweed everywhere! Just nicely in a line from the tide :)
The view from the stairs looking out to the ocean
On our walk around Westwood lake it was really warm but in the middle of the rainforest were these completely random little patches of snow!
Madrone trees that we found at the lake :) They were super soft and really red! Almost like a gum tree!
Right at the end of our walk around the lake (it was about 5kms) we sat on this little floating dock and hung out for ages. It was super nice and sunny and warm! :)
We then walked back to the trail on the railings just as some randoms were walking past and offered to take a photo for us! So here we are being random!! :D
Afterwards, we drove around Nanaimo looking for a Tim Hortons because we HAD to have Tim Hortons in Canada!! It was AMAZING!! Just as good as I remembered it being :)
We bought 2 Timbits for less than $3. It was awesome! And they tasted so good :)
YUM!
We also went to The Real Canadian Superstore, which is MASSIVE!!
And I was so excited because I found TimTams in the Real Canadian Superstore!!!!!!!!!! It was the BEST!! So I bought some... or a lot... and then we ate 2 packets... :/ but they tasted AMAZING!!!!!
On Monday we went and saw the sunrise :) it was beautiful!!
Sarah Anne and me hanging out in the beautiful sunrise :)
Aaaaannd my twin!! Hilary and I wore basically the same thing every day :) same jumper and jacket and black pants :P I've been looking through my photos and get so confused when I see Hilary thinking it's me!!!
On Tuesday we went to Cathedral Grove. It was beautiful! Lots of super mossy trees...
We went exploring off the trail and walked across this beautiful river that looked very much like Gleniffer. It was gorgeous!
We also saw the tallest tree!! (just in Cathedral Grove I think... ) It was pretty cool :)
We then also went to Little Qualicum Falls! It was totally awesome and there was soooo much water!!
I found out afterwards that when we lived in Canada we actually went to Cathedral Grove and Little Qualicum Falls!!!! :D So cool!!
