GCA: to Vancouver Island

In Nanaimo! So... had to skip Victoria - VIA just cannot seem to get us in on time - came straight to Nanaimo just in time for everything to be closed. However, an adorable little city this is. I'm thinking of moving - no snow, mountains in the background, ocean close by and no Hastings St. crack whores. plus plus plus. Also: hitchhiked to our hostel. have done every mode of transport that doesn't involve a live animal already (plane, train, car, ferry, hitched, friend's car and walked). tomorrow @ 8am for Port Hardy via Cathedral Grove.

We've already decided to cancel our Whistler detour as well - there's no point in being disappointed at the last minute. Of course, now we have to find a place to stay on May 18 - suggestions, poppets? You know, how we always rely on the kindness of strangers.

Really looking forward to our Inside Passage / Skeena legs - can't believe that in a short ten days time we'll be circling Pearson. Where did the time go? OH!! before I forget: finally saw bears! just outside Jasper from the train - smashed my knee doing it too - iced it for 16 hours - feels better. but bears!! *sigh*
