• Day 5–7

    First daytrip from Nanaimo

    September 29, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    We arrived in Nanaimo, had a big night out and slept quite a while in on the next day. The day was already half over so we been just around in Nanaimo.
    The next day we went to a car rental place, booked a car for 3 days and now I will talk about the first day trip!

    The day was absolutely amazing! Our first stop was a little trail in the woods, I never saw big trees like this in my life. After walking and driving around for a while we went to Port Alberni where we grabbed something to eat. Done eating and filled with energy we made our way to a river where the possible was high to see black bears! And that is what happened, first time seeing a bear in the nature in my life. What a moment, he was catching fish on the other side of the river. What a start for the road trip days!

    On our way back to Nanaimo (our base) we did another little hike to a waterfall. Not the best waterfall but we had a fun time while trail running there.

    Back in the hostel. Time to chill, recover and get ready for the next day.

    The nature here is absolutely stunning so far!
