Nanaimo

As Jim mentioned we overnighted in Nanaimo so he could eat Nanaimo bars to his hearts content. He doesn't eat many desserts and I eat almost all of them but our tastes diverge on Nanaimo bars, they contain coconut (Yuck).
Nanaimo was a good surprise. We had been once before for a few hours and spent those on Newcastle Island Provincial Park. This time we stayed overnight at the Bucanneer Inn, very clean. At the receptionist's suggestion we walked to the downtown along the waterfront, about a 1/2 hour walk, to find a restaurant for dinner. The car rental guy had suggested the Modern Cafe which we located pretty easily on Commercuial St. Dinner and the wine were terrific.
This morning we drive back downtown to find some breakfast and were delighted to find the Petite Choux, an excellent breakfast. After that we walked to the Old Cith Centre to find the yarn shop. Another short stroll located both Jim's namaimo bars and an out of print cookbook I was searching for. A good day in a fine little city.
