41. Nanaimo to Vancouver
24 September 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
After a nice breakfast made by the older friendly lady, I visited the Neck Point Park. There were some nice views and guess what - I saw again some humpback whales. I knew that they are very common around Vancouver Island, but didn't know that I could see them everywhere - if I had known this before, I could have saved myself the first whale watching tour (day 28) where I saw the humpacks only from the distance 😅
The park is said to have a gnome colony, thus the small doors on some trees. It's the work of an older guy living in Nainoma, who did this for the kids.

After that, I hiked to the so-callled "abyss". Extension Ridge is known locally as ‘The Abyss’ because of a 16″ earthquake fissure found there. Although not much is known about this large crack in the earth, there is speculation that it could be a result of a collapsed mine tunnel that was triggered by an earthquake. To date there is no information about how deep the crack is.

After a visit of the town center of Nanaimo with its harbour, I headed to the Petroglyph Provincial Park, where you can find some prehistoric sandstone rock carvings done by First Nations people more than 1000 years ago.

I took finally the ferry at Duke Point back to Tsawwassen (day 25) and drived to Vancouver. There, I wanted to visit the Richmond Night Market to get some flashbacks from my 2018er China trip, however the market was closed due to the rain and announced coming storm. So I ended up check in my guesthouse in Vancouver. It's however another guest house where I gonna stay for the next three days as at the start of my trip.Baca lagi

As announced, a storm hit the west coast of Canada, making it a rainy day. Drived 1 hour to the Greater Vancouver Zoo. This zoo had a great mix of exotic and canadian animals. After that, returned to the Vancouver Airport, where I had to say goodbye to my KIA.

Made 7.900 km through west canada and the KIA had done a great job! More so, that a lot of the official roads only were gravel paths 😅

Returned with the skytrain to the city, where I visited the Olympic Village Square. After a hike along the BC Place stadium and Gastown, I returned to my guest house.

During the energy crisis, a lot of people were complaining about shuting down the lights in the night. In Canada and even here in the suburbs of Vancouver it's the same, but you can't complain as there aren't even street lightings 😂 So, no option to return later at home, more so as every street looks the same and it still was raining. Stopped on my way at a chinese shopping market, where globalization hit me once again. Even that Vancouver has a big asian community, I don't understand why they have to buy the same products or even brands with chinese logos or made in china. Don't get it.Baca lagi

Stayed in bed after 10 a.m. for the first time in 6 weeks 😅 After a 10 minute walk, I took the bus to the campus of the University of British Columbia. Nice campus and a place only 10 minutes away from the beach (Wreck Beach). Visited the Beaty Biology Museum - I like the idea of museum, resarch and university combined at one place. The museum was very built on explaining zoology with not so many exhibitions than London or Luxembourg Nature Museums. So not to exiting when you are npt so onto biology. So I watched the 45 minutes movie of the most interesting exhibition of the museum - a skeleton of an adult blue whale. What an interesting story!
After that, I had to visit Wreck Beach - I can imagine that at the end of the school year and with sunshine, this will be the place to be when you study at the UBC.

With another bus, I returned to dowtown at a $-shop to get rid of my canadian coins and to take the seabus to North Vancouver. There, I hafd a fantastic view on the beautiful skyline of Vancouver. Yes, I said that Vancouver hasn't a lot of street lightning, but of course that doesn't count for Downtown. Finished the day with my last supper and returned with the seabus and skytrain to my guest house - even that I said returning in the night wouldn't be a great idea. But even that my photos of the skyline in night didn't work, I don't regret to saw it in person.Baca lagi

...and I did nothing 😂 There were some sport news concerning my football club, so I was spending the morning in reading articles. Afterwards, I had to pack for the return flight. On foot it went then again through Vancoucer to the Metro station in the direction of the airport. There I spent the day with book reading and watching movies before I arrived after the 10 hours flight on 28.09 in Amsterdam. There it became stressful, because between landing and departure was only about 1 hour. Of course, I had to run through the whole airport to appear in time for boarding 🤦‍♂️
Afterwards I reached Luxembourg after a one hour flight. But the short stay in Amsterdam had ensured that my suitcase did not arrive with me to Luxembourg - now waiting for a happy and "real" ending of my trip :)Baca lagi
