The campground was nice and our neighbors on one side were an older couple from Marysville, Wa. and a young couple from Holland who rented an RV were on the other side. The young couple needed an easier way to make their dinner and our big cast iron pan was the answer. We ended up hanging out until someone told us we were talking too loud for after 10 so we broke it up.
In the morning we packed up and headed to a city park for a walk on a paved trail. At our turn around point we were on a walking bridge and spotted a black bear swimming across the river back where we had to walk to get back to the van. We proceeded cautiously, but were fine making it back.
We heard from friends and others about Canada's wine country in Kelowna and parts south so we took our palates and went to see for ourselves. The trip down to Kelowna can be made an easy way or a path less traveled way so we opted for the path less traveled way which included 2 ferries and some waiting. The last part is up and over some mountains and we were ready for grub when we arrived.
Our paid campground for the night will not make the recommendation list any time soon. The place was tight and dirty and their WIFI was only within X number of feet of the office. Other than the resident ducks and it's locations next to the beach, there was nothing to write home about.
The morning after we found a park in West Kolowna with a nice little trail and got in a nice walk followed by a jump in the lake. We decided that we had too much driving to do to go crazy wine tasting, so we stayed in West Kelowna which is more manageable and picked 3 to see.
My Washington wine palate was surprised by the reds available there and we bought more than we could legally take across the border, but we risked it anyway. That story will be in the next post.
More soon. Peace.
