Around Kelowna - the famous Okanagan Valley

On the way from Vancouver to the dry and sunny Okanagan Valley we had some severe engine troubles. Cause the temperature-gauge on the dash board is sometimes increasing really high, we never can be sure if we ever reach our next destination. But we are still on the road...

We found some nice Bike rides, especially in this bizarr-looking forest which had been destroyed in a huge forest fire in 2003. Compared to West-South BC are the trails here much drier and dustier but not less fun.
After a couple of nights living in our Van and go "showering" in some of various lakes we moved to my parents' friends house in Lake Country.




















Family Pollock

After our trip to Vancouver Island and Sunshinecoast we felt glad that we could return to our nice and friendly family in North-Van. We spent the time having good meals (thanks to Heather), playing hard the different Canadien Games like Horseshoe-Throwing and listening to a great final private concert of the two versed Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo and Madolin Player Lee and John. Thank you very much, especially to Laura, that you all opened your house and we could get in touch with your life. We really felt comfortable or in Swiss German "heimelig".
