Day #4837 (Tue., Apr. 4, 2023) – Pamela Anderson Pier
I was sneezing and wheezing so much last night that my wife said she thought I should go to the health clinic in Duncan this morning. I told her I felt much better actually, so we decided to give it a day or so and see how I felt in Courtenay.
We didn’t see it yesterday, but there is actually a Tim Horton’s inside the service station near the Microtel. So, we decided that we would have breakfast here this morning!
We drove to Ladysmith to tour around. We walked the beach and a guy on the beach pointed out to me the pier and property where Pamela Anderson lives (see photo to the right). From the Netflix special she actually bought the house that she grew up in and developed the property.
There were a bunch of kids from a private school in Duncan there as well. One of the teachers told me that they have a day trip one day a week… Nice to be able to afford a private school!
Next up was Nanaimo and we toured the downtown area. My wife and kids walked the waterfront. Bobby came back with a German Shepherd plushie and Katie had an ice cream. My wife bought a Nanaimo bar that we didn’t eat till days later.
We stayed at the Day’s Inn just south of Nanaimo this evening. We decided to have dinner at “Ricky’s All Day Diner”, which is inside the hotel. My wife and I got liver and onions. Katie had a grilled cheese and Bobby of course had a burger and fries.
