Day 3: Nanaimo to Courtney
There was rain overnight. I left my bike computer on my bike overnight by accident. It didn't work in the morning. So, I guess I'll have to use my spare. I was hoping the original would last a little longer.
The roads were mostly dry but there were some wet spots. When I got to Parksville I was considering going west to Tofino. I stopped in at the tourist information centre and the weather forecast looked OK for getting there, but it would be raining there for a couple of days when I wanted to return. I went outside and looked at the sky. It looked black to the west and clear to the north. North it is!
I followed highway 19A as much as possible. I stayed at Puntledge RV ($21). It's a nice place. It's pretty empty right now. It's probably not peak season yet.
End point:
