Preparation

Crossing the Canadian Rockies [Days 10,11]

Planned route - Vernon to Kelowna to Vancouver

On day 10 we will not be travelling much. However we will check out the area around Okanagan Lake which appears to be very beautiful. There are a lot of vine fields and wineries in the area so we want to take a look around. The next day we're hoping to get to Vancouver, where we'll be meeting Neil and Leli.

And here is the route:

Crossing the Canadian Rockies [Day 9]

Planned Route - Jasper to Vernon

Weekend over and I did nothing I had planned to do. Spent the days relaxing. Saturday morning was the best! Hubby and I went over to visit a friend and she and her mum had breakfast (or brunch?!) ready in the garden. Yummy! some shade and a breeze... then some freshly cut grapes and more relaxing! Wasn't that cool? Thanks Mrs. Busuttil ;-)

Well I actually did something in preperation for the trip which I had not planned. I bought a wedding present for my mum's cousin's daughter (got that?!) in Toronto, who will be getting married 3 days after we leave for Calgary! What a pity to be missing the wedding!

I also updated all previous posts so that it is now possible to click on the maps and see a larger map. It is now possible to actually see the route :)

So here we go with Day 9. On this day there'll be no site visiting, but we need to get from Jasper to Vernon. We'll be getting two ferries, one at Shelter Bay and one at Fauquier.

Here's the route:

PS. Relaxing continued also on Sunday at Hubby's friend's house, in the pool. Thanks Michael! :-D
Oh and I was forgetting a BBQ on Sat evening with Hubby's brother and family and Hubby's aunt and family. Pretty relaxing too. I guess I deserved it after a hard week of work :)
