We left Nanaimo at about 10:30 and proceeded to Englishman River Falls. It was a very nice walk to both the falls and we remembered taking the kids there when we visited the Klebe's all those years ago.
After that was the mandatory stop at Coombs to check out the neat general store there ( the store with goats on the roof). The store always has different cool things to see.
Next stop , Cathedral Grove, where we took the time to walk the trails on both sides of the road. Beautiful as always.
Our night stop was Port Alberni. We first got our motel, then proceeded down to the main quay. Not a whole lot happening but still nice.We had picked up a map of a hiking area called Roger's Creek Trail. The area was tremendous;rain forest with moss covered trees but the trails were very poorly marked (there were multiple trails leading all over the place) and because it was a rain forest it was hard to tell where you were. I finally got the point of saying we better go back because it was too easy to get lost. One time I took a wrong path but Caro realized the mistake after a short while and got us straightened out.
We drove around the city for a bit (definitely a town past its' prime) before grabbing subs and after eating heading back to the motel to veg out.
The photos below are, first Englishman River Falls and the second the forest at Port Alberni.
