Nanaimo, B.C. 27.7.01

Nainaimo, the second largest town after Victoria on the island, has everything: “Tim Horten’s”, “Chapters”,” Wall Mart”, Costco” etc. There are many Aquaplanes.

We went there to have our films developed, do shopping and check our Email free at the library. The supermarket is called “Overwaitea foods”. I kid you not and will leave it to you to wonder why. It was large and nice. There you can fill small tubs from bulk containers with peanut butter, relish, jam, etc put it on a scale, enter the bin number and it prints a label for the tub. This is very handy when you are on holiday and don’t want large containers. I think it is also neat if you want to try out a product you don’t know.

It was cool; we strolled through some nice shops and the harbor where there was a flea market on. There were also many Aquaplanes and lovely Yachts. It started to rain.
