Tuesday Jun 28, Campbell River

Have had a real low key day checking out the town. Left the van in camp and walked, I think we both needed the exercise although all dead flat so no real challenges. It was so nice not to have any plans today and I really enjoyed browsing in the stores and the little galleries, while Ian found a number of marine stores.

Had a coffee and sandwich at a Tim Hortons shop, as a chain they always have freshly made food and good coffee.

Called into a chocolate store..just investigating on your behalf Nicky! Anyway it was great watching them make the chocolates and the girls were so helpful. Joanne used to live on the Sunshine Coast where we are going tomorrow and was so helpful with lots of ideas of places to visit.

Quadra Island is just across the Strait from town and it was interesting to see the ribbon like wisp of sea fog hanging just above the water line of the island.

It was a long walk back to camp along the shoreline and stumbled across the pub where we ate last night, felt we needed a beer while we had a rest!
