I will tell you a secret.
Under dark blue sky.
You will only see one star.
The same that leads you in the dark.

We were waking up because sun was out! I knew that our campsite was very close to the water and a lighthouse but when we arrived was pitch black and we could only hear waves going back and forth. While setting up our ‘bed’ racoons came in to say ‘hi’ and did some sniffing around :)
Oh well - Cape Disappointment Park did quite the opposite! This place is so beautiful and reminded me a lot of LT :) We saw deers both nights, already mentioned racoons and it was pretty empty!
We really wanted to try to sleep in our car and November is perfect month for that plus my birthday :)
Empty beach. The one you dream to have just to yourself! Just waves, Youn playing with drone and some seagulls. That’s it! When we went to see lighthouse the next day there was an info board and I read that this place didn’t exist before! It was all under water.
This fall light is so pretty we both could not stop taking photos :)
A little town next to campsite was very cute and had it’s own typical small town life vibe :) We went to a coffee shop and order some breakfast and some local ladies sat to us. We started to chit chat and it was really funny to hear their life stories and how they end up in this little town.
After breakfast our goal was to drive to Bayocean Peninsula Park which is in Oregon. We wanted to ride our bikes there and on the way back stop and visit Cannon Beach :) It was such a beautiful drive there!
Just look at this! Pure sand, sun, waves :)
More to come :)
As we were promised by people whom we met on the road, Prince Rupert gave us a nice shower. Despite that we got some delicious Pho at a local restaurant and (!!) a visit at a local thrift store payed with a nice warm sweater for Youn :) So not too bad after all. We chit chatted with owners of that store and they we’ve been living in Prince Rupert for awhile now. They told us some stories about city and why sometimes they have so many Koreans coming for a vacay :)
Next morning we had an early ferry ride to Port Hardy. The weather was quite harsh, strong wind and same rain. Luckily it didn’t affect our ride and ferry left Prince Rupert as scheduled. We arrived in a dark to Port Hardy, luckily we got out of ferry first (motorcycle advantage ;) ) because few mins later all car drivers showed up at the same hotel and had to wait in line, meanwhile we were enjoying hot shower.
Ride to Nanaimo was beautiful! We took a hwy19A and were blessed by views! It’s like driving on Sunshine Coast, but for a longer distance and you can enjoy openness and beautiness by a lifestyle there. If you will ever end up there think of choosing hwy19A :)
I remember this hwy 16 part as most challenging due to rain, that never stopped. We saw so many beautiful places along the way. The yellow raincoats helped to keep our spirits up :)
Youn really wanted this photo in front of helicopter ;D
Next stop - Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on a ferry.
