I wish know what do you think, dear VT members, is Gabriola Island worth seeing, or better Newcastle Island?

Never been to Gabriola, but have been to Newcastle and liked it a lot. Took a perimeter trail that goes all the way around the island, there are good views of downtown Nanaimo and Coastal Mountains across the strait. During the low tide you can see some pretty weird stone formations and may spot a raccoon or two. The ferry that takes you there is a passenger-only ferry, so you'd have to park your car and take whatever you need with you. There is also a campground on the island, we did not stay there, but it looked pretty nice. Some pics: http://picastory.com/story_preview.htm?nStart=1&am
