We were late leaving Banff because the bus wouldn't start and it was freezing. Fortunately, after half an hour of hanging around the small reception area of the hostel, they got tired of tripping over the baggage and opened the lounge for us to sit in until the bus started. Four of my first traveling companions joined the bus after spending a few days in Banff, including Chris, the card trickster and the mad Norwegian.
Both 8 and 9 October were long driving days - the scenery was beau...
We left early to head to Kelowna, but the drive through the rockies would be the highlight of the day. Highway 99, to Lillooet was just amazing. You have to keep your eyes on the road, but the views caused us to find a place to pull over several times. The scenery changes from jagged mountains with snow still on them in September, to lush green rolling hills to farms in the valleys and then to desert looking mountains with no trees and tumbleweed. The best views to be had were on hwy 99 to Li...

... would leave Kelowna after I was supposed to depart from Calgary, That had to be fixed in Kelowna. Otherwise, everything proceeded perfectly. I was duly deposited by Todd and Shan at the Kelowna Airport on Wednesday morning, and I managed to get a window seat on the plane.
Because of the ticket problems, I had some extra, last minute/cliffhanger checking in and getting of boarding passes to do in Calgary ...
... ich fuhr den verschiedenen kleinen seen entlang, ueberholte einige holztransporter, sah ein paarmal das warnschild fuer elche oder auch rehe und vor allem fuhr ich auf dem legendaeren transcanada-highway 1, welcher die grosse strassenverbindung zwischen west und ost herstellt. in revelstoke angekommen, suchte ich mir ein kleines b&b aus, welches 1905 erbaut wurde und zu den sehenswuerdigkeiten der kleinen stadt gehoert. das besitzerpaar ...
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada carontour... que professionals, canten els 2 himnes i tot. Penseu que en una ciutat mitjana com Kelowna amb 150.000 hab l'hockey es la passio local, dir-vos que l'equip surt amb un potent 'Fire woman' de The Cult i cada cop que es para el joc per una falta o temps mort hi ha talls de Rage Against the Machine, AC/DC, Franz Ferdinand, The Who, ... la llastima es que val com a experiencia, el joc no acabo d'entendre'l gaire :-(
He anat per feina que em quedem ja pocs dies, el pla ...
... flew by fast so it felt like less than a year. In another aspect, I've had more than a years worth of experiences and memories so it feels like more than a year. Either way of looking at it i wish i was still there. I have to be honest, it's been a difficult transition back into Canadian life. It will take some time before i feel "normal" again, if that will even ever happen :) Until then i'm just going to lay low and get myself ...
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada tranquillizeFrom Kaslo we went to the Halcyon Hot Springs which is really beautiful but very commercial. Then we headed west to the Okanagon Valley, the banana belt for BC. It's got some great wines too.
We stopped on the way at Fauquier and played golf at yet another beautiful course.
Today i really don't feel like writing much at all despite the fact that we saw over 80 spp again today. Starting at Vernon we were helped by Chris Siddle, a friend of Gary's and, of course, a keen birder. We got great views of Clay coloured sparrows plus new birds; Caliope Hummingbird [delightful views of the male], pheasant male, Black swifts [a pair doing an extravagant flypast. Also got great views of Western ...
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada kcros32... woe's... We were both pretty sick for that time, and took it to relax and gather ourselves. Since then, we went to Nelson to visit, and ended up at a beautiful community in Grand Forks (in between Kelowna and Nelson). There, we experienced a side of life which we are in the process of attracting for ourselves. Little being said, I will post pics of the natural buildings and beautiful people we met there. Daniel has ...
