Following advice from some locals, I decided to take the 2 hour (!) detour enroute to visit the city of Kelowna, BC.
...and I am glad I did! Kelowna is a summer holiday location for a lot of British Columbians - Having a great mix of shops, bars, parks and watersports... And a cracking climate!
It is known here at the 'California of the North', which suits it well. This is a really nice laid-back atmosphere to the place.
I left Sun Peaks this morning in jeans and a hoodie - It was chilly!; I should have put shorts and a t-shirt on instead for here:
The weather is gorgeous, as is the view, as I sit here in the City Park overlooking the harbour with my Caramel Pecan waffle cone.
Canada continues to impress - Snow to Sun within a 4 hour drive.
Lovely.
