      Hi Darryl - Thanks so much for watching the video and your kind words. Nanaimo is such a beautiful city and the Harbourfront Walkway is a real gem. We would love to get back to Nanaimo some day and will let you know if we are coming. We are living in Montreal now, until November and then not sure where we will be able to travel. Cheers!

    Be sure to have a drink and a bite to eat at the Dinghy Dock...a floating bar out in the harbour! If you have time, visit beautiful Gabriola Island...a 15 minute ferry ride across the harbour.

      It's a really unique place and has so much more that I didn't show like a donut shop, restaurant and patio, and home furnishings store. You could spend a lot of time, and of course money there.

    Best thing to do in Nanaimo is hit the cheap gas station while you're waiting at all the beautiful red lights our city has to offer. If you value scenery and traffic jams, Nanaimo is a great place to gas up for the Highway 19 experience.
