    I love that park. The whole area looks fantastic. I'll put White Sales Brewing on my map. I'm a big beer fan. Definitely looked good. The random artwork was amazing.

      Yes we would go back to Nanaimo for sure and would definitely hit up the brewery again.

    What a very nice hotel room. And I think the one line two way road would have been pretty neat. Everything is so pretty where you are. I love all the yellow boats! Great video new friend!

    How was lees chicken?
    They look like big samples on your beer paddle.
    The lagoon looked so good.
    Deer are so graceful.

    Steep and narrow roads are a norm in our travels because Wayne gravitates to them, lol! Did it save you time in the end? You had us at "most comfortable bed"! How big were those flight glasses?! CUTE baby deer! What kind of wine was Alan trying?

    I live in BC and have never heard of Lee’s Famous Chicken… maybe it is just one restaurant or a chain only on Vancouver Island? This was a really nice video and great tour!

    2:00 that road looked like all the roads in the countryside of the UK, we’re used to cliff edge and cars coming towards us😅
    It’s so exciting to see you travelling more after all this craziness, we can’t wait to get back to it soon. The brewery you visited looked so nice and quiet!

    Hey guys, what a great start to your trip, how exciting to fly again!
    Ahh that detour road sounded a bit stressful, I would have enjoyed hearing the audio during the drive, I think it would have been similar to some of our prior drives 😆 good idea to stick with the main roads for the sake of the marriage!
    So glad you found a brewery to take a break!
    I also liked the hiding spot in the hotel room 😆

    • @TheAverageTourist
