Heheh, Osoyoos.

We’re on the road today after some delicious Holiday Inn Express sausage patties and cheesy omlette om nom nom.

Armed with the TomTom with Canadian maps we set off at just past 10am (we didn’t meet Aidan’s optimistic 9am start time!) with a 500km drive ahead of us, through some amazing views of little towns, mountains and trees. It’s still quite cloudy over here but you still get fantastic countryside views, with the tip of the mountains going into the clouds… And not to worry, the forecast for Osoyuss is 33 degrees and sunny!

We went up to about 3000 feet on a small detour to look at the view and the pictures are the only things to describe how amazing it is (Todays pictures here). Chipmunks running right up to your hand and feeding off it, and birds that were doing the same. We saw some other exciting wildlife too. Nothing could beat the fantastic views of the mountains though. You could see right into the U.S.

For the next 250kms it turned more and more deserty, more dust, and less and less people! We’ve ended up at a small hotel which is completly the opposite of our luxurious Holiday Inn stay; one bedroom with two double beds, and a kitchen/diner.

We had lunch at a place conveniently placed over the road, and now I’m sitting out the front of our place overlooking… A petrol station.. in order to use the free wireless

Goodnight!
