August at Neck Point Park

Earlier this year, in mid-August, we had visitors from Europe. By the time visitors get out of YVR, negotiate the Canada Line and West Vancouver Blue Bus connections to Horseshoe Bay, never mind the ferry across to Nanaimo, they're generally beat. We've found that a good sleep and a leisurely breakfast usually gets visitors into vacation mode. So, the question is, "How do we ease them into their Vancouver Island stay?" For us, the answer is: a stroll through Neck Point Park (avoiding the 100+ stairs to Keel Cove, of course).

Enjoy my pictorial record of our walk on this occasion.
