Hello everyone from us here in Nanaimo! We have now been here and working at The Buccaneer Inn for 3 weeks. It was a bit stressful during the learning period and now that we have some experience under our belt, it feels more comfortable.
The Buccaneer has 13 rooms and for the majority of nights we have worked, we have been full! We are a 2 minutes from the Departure Bay ferry terminal and a 40 min walk along the water to downtown Nanaimo. We have a great view of the channel and Newcastle Island from our front window and can watch the boats and float planes come and go. We can see and almost touch Newcastle Island which has no cars or houses and offers lots of hiking trails, camping and excellent kayaking. I am looking forward to exploring by kayak & foot and also do to some camping on it!
A big thank you to Klaus (my awesome brother) for coming to spend the day with us and to check out our new surroundings. He treated us to lunch at the Dinghy Dock Pub which is a floating pub in Nanaimo. It is a fun 10 minute ferry ride from the dock in downtown to Protection Island where the pub is located. Definately a must do when you are in Nanaimo! It was a great way to spend the day with my two favourite men!
We are slowly learning more about our new emvironment of Nanaimo and getting to know where things are for us as well as for our guests. Definately check out the website http://www.buccaneerinn.com/ and keep in touch and maybe we will see you here soon!
