Big BC 6

Next we went to the North Island.


Big BC 5

Now I've lost track of the days, but I think I can keep the sequence straight.

On the South Island, we did a few day trips.  We went to a beach on the east side of the island

















And then to a beach on the west side of the south island, on the open ocean.  It was beachcombing paradise, with a lot of stuff from Japan.





After a lot of effort we got a fire going and roasted some delicious weenies.  The fire finally took after I threw in a bunch of business cards I had in my wallet.  This seemed appropriate at this stage of the holiday: abandoning my white collar persona and all that.

Did we spend one night or two in our Prince George B&B?  I can't remember.  In any case, we next got on the ferry to Haida Gwaii.

The rail terminal at Prince Rupert.  A whole lot of containers go from the docks onto the rail line
