Allan had an appointment with a plastic surgeon to have his left ear "looked at" - first a consult, then back to have a hole that hasn't been healing excised and stitched.

Turns out the doctors office is in a building right on the water front.

While Allan was in being poked at, Sheila made like a tourist along the water front.

This carved figure is not far from the ferry terminal. There was no sign to explain it or say who the artist was.

There is a park with a picnic shelter that includes four totem poles.

This map shows a walking/cycling route that goes for 28 km around Campbell River! Sheila saw about half a kilometre of it.

Another sign notified walkers that if they felt an earthquake big enough that it was hard to stand, that as soon as shaking stopped they should head to higher ground as that area would be flooded if the hydro damn upstream of the city broke!

This foot bridge takes the path across an area that used to be the entrance to a ship yard.

This art work is probably what it looked like there many years ago.

Now the harbour is full of fishing and pleasure craft.

On the land side of the walk, a boxy new building will block any view of the water from the adjacent street.

Next door to it an older building has an interesting mural.

Art work on the side of the Pier Street Trading Post, an incredible second hand store with a little of just about everything and a lot of old music in several formats.

All over the downtown there are signs telling about historic buildings and businesses. The Bee Hive cafe is still there.

This is an Apple 180o pano of the part of the harbour at Campbell River.

The sidewalk is a straight line. The green building houses several doctors offices and a restaurant, as well as other businesses.
