Feeling only
moderately better, we packed up our things and said our good-byes and
headed east towards a little town on the side of a river called
Salmon Arm. Approximately 465kms from Vancouver.
Was a very pretty
drive coming out of Vancouver – the hills and landscape are truly
breathtaking – so green and lush and the spruces are magnificent.
We headed up higher and higher into the clouds, then out the other
side where the sun came out and the landscape changed to one of being
very dry and devoid of the spruces that were everywhere before.
Steve found the most
picturesque B&B at Salmon Arm, which sits on a huge lake with a
large mountain range behind. So our bedroom window looks out onto
the Lake and the mountain. Our host Toby is HILARIOUS – I want to
take her home, she is Italian Canadian!
She has promised to
share with us where I can find squirrels in the morning. Steve and I
couldn't wait, so we jumped back in the car to quickly explore the
area, and alas no squirrels, but upon our return at sunset, we did
stop to see 2 baby deer and their mom just wandering around the
estate! So that was lovely – so we can mark that off our “must
see list” of animals.
We ate dinner at
Boston Pizza. Steve's kinda place! He ate a chicken parma &
chips!! Happy Days for Steve! I can see us eating at this
establishment all over Canada. I ate a chicken salad – my tummy
seems to be settling down, so fingers crossed I am out the other side
of this crap now.
We came back to take
a few quick sunset shots from the balcony of the B&B and settle
in for the night.
Deer Count: 3
Squirrels: 0
