Go early, spend the day walking, browsing, and have lunch or snack at one of the local shops. Pick up local tourist magazine and try the local made Nanaimo bar in a coffee shop. Do not miss the Dollar-rama Store...great finds, but they do not accept debt cards or credit cards...cash only and change is in Canadian.

Make sure you do free bus trip around city and make sure you spend time on waterfront and if you get the chance fire the cannon!

The train trip from Port Alberney is fun, but there's an hour plus bus ride to get to the train. The tour volunteers were knowledgeable and friendly and the staff at the saw mill provided a delightful lunch.
