Prestige Lakeview Inn Nelson

Unser Tagesziel war Nelson. Unterwegs haben wir einen Abstecher in die vom Hochwasser und Brand zerstörten Geisterstadt Sandon besucht. Wir waren jedoch sehr enttäuscht. Unserer Meinung nach nicht sehenswert.

Die Weiterfahrt brachte uns als erstes nach Kaslo. Eine ehemalige Silberminenstad - sehr idyllisch. Es hat sich gelohnt, hier ...

... the under construction basement. It was very cool in there and although we startled him, he came right back to escape the heat. Absolutely amazing to us.
Slocan is about six hours from our home base but well worth the drive. It involves a free ferry ride across the Arrow Lake and is extremely scenic.

They say a pictures worth a thousand words so check out my pictures.

... time, I was off the road and hidden...blah blah blah... We got split up. And then it started to rain. In desperation, in Nelson, I grabbed the the first hotel room I found and just radio'd the co-ordinates to Shawn. What a great place! The Hume Hotel, in Nelson BC. It has a fantastic feel to it. The place is old, and dark, and wood paneled and just awesome. Tomorrow morning, if possible, we'll get some photos in the daylight. They won't do it justice. If you can, come ...

... to give the place more character, and I like it. All the shops, cafes and restaurants are independent, and the local food shop is the co-op selling predominantly locally-grown produce.

The dancing bear inn is where I stayed, and I think it might just be the most relaxing hostel I've ever stayed in. The perfect place to get through a few good books and I think that's exactly what I shall do, although not after I've been kayaking on the lake which is my plan for today.

Hello, Well here is a run down of what i did over the last 3 days. We drove around 5 hours North and stayed in a small town called Balflour it was very scenic on the lake which is massive. On the drive there i saw my first Moose! this was soooo exciting! I was so excited i didn't even think about a camera i was just in awe at the fact i was actually seeing a moose. I thought that was so amazing but ...

... were all almost asleep we heard mum (leanne) screaming BEAR BEAR theres a Effing BEAR just there, so papa smurf (neil) slammed on the brakes and before he knew it the seat belts were off and everyone was out the doors ignoring the fact that he told us to stay in the car cause itll kill us! we got the the side of the road and watched it eat the grass, it was only a little baby grizzly which meant its mother ...

... is a ginourmous music festival. Some 8,500 people like to come and frolic in the fields for 4 days amidst the sounds of 6 stages of DJ's and bands. The stages were pretty amazing and each had its own theme, including a beach stage, a forest, and the ewok village, with platforms running between the trees. Shambhala was an experience. I wasn't exactly my kind of scene but it didn't cost me anything and I did manage to ...

Here is a link so you can see something of the scenery in case I'm technologically challenged! http://www.explore(no space) thesouthwestcoastpath. co.uk I figured it out! You have to hit the hide lines button beside the map and then the whole address should show. Please try it now and you should get there.

... a little. Then after painting just a little I came back to the river and mediated. I was feeling sad and I couldn't understand why. I am here in all this beauty and feel ridiculous for being sad. I guess I had some past stuff coming up or something. I was feeling lost. We all hung out near the portal stage playing poi and helping Mich with building the flower. I tried to teach Jen and Bastion a few things with the poi and Brian was ...

... in the Nelson area, I watched a black bear duck into the woods. I was definitely in the western Canadian wilderness like never before. And I was all, defenselessly, alone. It was very difficult to sleep that night. It was much easier to, say, imagine a grizzly bear or cougar emerging from the trees and squeezing me out of my tent like a candy bar. It was a scary setting for sleep. Luckily, it seemed, bears don't golf. I woke as soon as it was light, at a ...
