Exploring Powell River

We got a chance to see more of Powell River today. Lorraine gave us a guided tour of the whole community. It’s way bigger than you first think. After a healthy breakfast of muesli, yogurt, omelette and coffee/tea she drove us around the town.  First stop a couple of thrift stores. 
Well organized and lots to see at the Mennonite Central Committee store.

This kind of activity means it’s coffee time. We grab drinks and muffins at River City Coffee and head down to Willngdon beach. 

A perfect spot to have a coffee break and enjoy the ocean views.

There was a seal or a floating ball in the water near our stretch of beach, but it was not what we thought….

Norm waded in to retrieve it. Guess what …..

Who knew that watermelons float. We left it for someone else. 
We had lunch ready for us back home then Norm and I headed out to explore the town. 
It is hot today so ice cream was needed, pistachio for Norm and salted caramel for me.


We managed a 7 1/2 km hike along the Willingdon Beach forestry trail. Lots to see, we learned about historical forestry equipment, types of trees and had a nice cool walk. 

Trees, trees, trees…

How they used to move logs in the past. 

Once back home we all went out for dinner to Coastal Cookery. So delicious! Thanks Glen and Lorraine. 
We’ve had a great time in Powell River and plan to come back again. 
Tomorrow off by ferry to Comox.
