4. Day

Kalenden – Oliver – Osoyoos – Christina Lake – Nelson – Sandon – Nakusp

This day should have started with the sunrise, but as it was cloudy we stood up for nothing. Okay not for nothing, we just ate breakfast and then started our car for another adventurous day.

First village to be visited was Oliver but actually it wasn’t very interesting, was pretty small and I guess it’s just interesting if you are interested in wine. So after a short walk we continued our trip in direction of Osoyoos.

Arrived in Osoyoos we were looking for the town centre, which was not so easy to find. :P Later we found the visitor info, where we took some prospects to inform us, what tourist attraction they have. This led us to visit a beautiful park. After that we drove to a viewpoint we you could see quite a lot of the Okanagan Valley. Just amazing.

On the highway to Castlegar we experienced how sudden weather changes can be in Canada. From snow to sun to very windy and snow again.

Since everybody was hungry and had to go to the washroom we decided to make a quick stop.

When we reached Christina Lake, we unfortunately couldn’t really find the shore or the village that we should have visited. That’s why we just stopped on a parking place in front of the lake and took some pictures of the lake. And because we had to go to the washroom again we continued our way to look for a toilet. You might ask yourself why we not just use our own washroom it’s still the same reason that I already told you – the washroom is still unused and now one wants to clean the shit tank. :P haha

After a stop in Castlegar for visiting Starbucks we drove to Nelson, another really small village.

Our next village to be visited should have been Sandon a ghost village. So we drove to Sandon, the road which leads there was rather a trail than a street.

This ghost village wasn’t very special… or maybe we just didn’t find it.

As it was close to the dusk we had to look for a camping.

The next camping should be in Nakusp so we made our way to this town. On this way we saw deer for the first time here in Canada. Later on there were some biiig deer on the road.

When we arrived in Nakusp we couldn’t find the camping ground, as it happen a few times until now. :P And it got soo late that we just took another one as we saw a sign for that camping ground along the street. We were a bit worried because in our brochure stands that this camping opens in May. But since were tired and on the sign was all year open we drove to this camping. What we didn’t know was that we had to drive a small, narrow street with no light for 12km, so it took us a while to get up there.

When we got to the end of the street we just saw the hot spring but nowhere a camping ground. That’s why the guys asked the girl from the hot spring where we could stay for the night and she told us that we could camp here but that they just have energy and no water. So we stayed there for the night, it was a bit creepy but the stars on the sky were really beautiful.

So after a exhausting but amazing day, in which we saw a lot of different lakes and mountains we were glad to have something to fill our belly and ate some pastas.

Motto of the day…

Where is the washroom? =) 

5. Day

Nakusp – Revelstoke – Golden

Since our washroom is STILL unused and nobody wants to make the first step we have decided that we would get up early this morning and the first thing to do would be finding a coffee where we could go to the toilet.

So we left a 7:30 and looked for a coffee in Nakusp.

We continued our journey to Revelstoke and Golden, after 50km we had to take a ferry but it was really nice, as the scenery was amazing once more.

After a short ride we arrived in Revelstoke where we got some new fuel and took some pictures. When we saw the restaurant Emo’s we got hungry and went for lunch.

Just 1.5 hour later we arrived in Golden and searched once more for a camping :P Luckily we found one and were the first guests of the season! =) wuuuuhu!

On the other side of the river is a railway track and I have seen the longest train ever, it was more than 3.5km long!!!

After a short football game Susi and Mario cooked a very delicious dinner which we ate outdoors as it was such nice weather.

Later on we made a campfire, we got firewood for free as a present as we were the first guests.

To finish the day we watched two episodes of “Fascht e Familie”. =)

I heard the best expression ever… haha

Flip: Hans, ich hans!

Hans: Flip, ich flip!!! Hahahaha

Motto of the day…

Have you energy? Strom? hahahaha
