brunch worth the trip, and the
Qualicum College Inn, where the
Cambridge wing’s cooms offer ei-
ther a sea view or a fireplace.

I’d recommend the fireplace for
an off-season visit, a feature in-
chided in all Tigh-na-Mara’s
rooms. On this visit, in early Feb-
ruary, the weather was mild and
sunny, but in late afternoon it
cools off, and that’s the time to
light a log, put your feet up and
turn a page or two.

There’s lots of golf around, in-
cluding the high-rated Morn-
ingstar (summer $33, winter $24,
Tel: 1-248-8161), home of the

. Canadian Tour qualifying school
and about to offer two- and
three-day golf packages to
visitors.

Also close by is Cathedral
Grove and Little Qualicum Falls,
two wonderful experiences that
are all the better without summer
crowds,

If it rains there’s the Emerald
Forest Bird Garden, home to
scores of exotic birds, and Butter-
fly World, where the operators
hoped for 80 people a day but are

in fact getting 800.

The Old School House gallery
in Qualicum village is well worth a
visit.

No visitor can fail to notice the
amount of construction around
Parksville and Qualicum. The area
is booming, with the average sel-
ling price of a home last year a
relatively modest $145,000, while
1991 property taxes were $1,280,
about half that of Victoria.

On Sunday evening we stood on
the open, aft deck of the Orca
Spirit. and watched Nanaimo
tecede quickly into the distance,
then headed inside for a warming
cup of tea. Almost every seat was
taken.

‘*Earl Grey or English
breakfast?’’ and ‘‘would you like
your scone warmed?’’ we were
asked. ,

Come the summer, when the
tourists and the relatives rol! into
home (and your spare room),
these flying cats to Nanaimo and
Victoria will book up fast, so I’d
go now, while island room rates
are reasonable, and the sea-going
galley staff still has time to spoil
you over afternoon tea.
