Hans and I arrived Monday June 2, by Ferry to VANCOUVER ISLAND. Places we visited were Victoria, then North on Highway 1 to Cowichan Bay, Duncan and Chemainus, then west on Highway 4 to Port Alberni and Tofino. We then backtracked Highway 4 to Parksville and Nanaimo where we took the Ferry back to the Mainland. Although we only explored the southern half of Vancouver Island, what we saw and experienced was just fantastic.

The murals are wonderful. The cathedral groves and the drift wood on Long Beach is so neat. Wonderful page and I enjoyed reading it!
I cannot wait to visit Victoria, Lori, thanks for the tips, and it will be lovely meeting you and Hansi in Seattle :D
Lovely page on this scenic island. The City of Totems sounds really worth visiting as does the Cathedral Grove. I hope the bears keep to their own paths, as do those in the Tatras here and you don't often meet them.
This City of Totems looks so familiar...the twins would love this! My son gets more scared though..Nice tip on bears...I don't think I can act "dead" though! I'll try to ROAR him away..
I enjoyed visiting Vancouver Island through your page, Lori. We didn't get as far as you, but it was impressive and your page has helped to bring it back.
I liked tips about the MacMillan Park- Cathedral Grove. Forest giants more than 800 years old impress a lot! Now I know what to do if I meet a bear somewhere, ha-ha... Thanks Lori for the virtual tour!
Interesting tips. I'd love to see the totem poles and the 800-year-old Douglas Firs.
Doing some R & D for friends who are going to Vancouver next year. Great info. See ya in Germany.
Nice page to visit once again, Lori. I'd like to see Vancouver Island again!
Never knew much about Vancouver Island. Looks like a great place with spectacular scenery. Hope you have a great time in Greece.
