Today is our last full day of the cruise and it's been awesome. We are in Nanaimo, Canada which is located on Vancouver Island. We've had a cloudless day and temperatures close to 80 degrees.
Nanaimo is known as the "Harbor City" and after exploring it by foot and kayak I feel it certainly lives up to it's name "Harbor City".. We were off the ship early and took off on a hike along the waterfront that took us down about 3.5 miles. We came across a kayak rental that looked inviting so we rented a kayak for an hour and enjoyed exploring the rocky shoreline of New Castle Island. Along the way we spotted several seals who seemed to enjoy looking at us as much as we enjoyed looking at them. There were also several raccoons along the shoreline. It's always a nice and rare treat to see actual living raccoons instead of those typically seen along the side of the road.
A great way to wrap up a great cruise!
Now about last night.............we really did almost do it. Just another 30 minutes or so and we would have stayed up until dark. Now don't think poorly of us, keep in mind it doesn't get dark up here until after 10:00 PM.
