Last night was hot! I was up until 1030 at least – sweating. I love the quality of our tent, but it’s not very breezy unless the cover is removed, and then everyone can see you.
I slept in a little – didn’t leave until 7:45am.
Weather was a bit cloudy but with rays of sun filtering though. The ride was wonderful. It’s my favorite stretch – anywhere! Clouds eventually gave way to beautiful clear skies and more heat! Temps were between 21 this am in higher elevations, and 29 – in Nelson (drip).
I went straight to the White House, a backpackers lodge right off the main drag in Nelson. It’s a great big house with several additions. I’m staying in a room to myself. It’s a little cozy room, with a bunk bed. I’m still trying to decide whether to stay on the top or the bottom bunk – OR, wait for it, – alternate – I do exciting things on my vacation! Let there be no doubt!
The room has a little table, and best of all, it’s nice and cool. Probably 10 degrees cooler than outside. The bathrooms and showers are shared, but they all have their own room, and they are very clean.
For the price, it’s really quite perfect. I’m very happy to have a nice cool room to retreat to.
After settling in (they let me check in 4 hours early) I went for a nice walk in town, and, you’ll all be surprised, my favorite place to eat, the Red Fish. Fantastic food was followed by a wee nap, and now, for something different, I’m enjoying a meal, at the Red Fish!
After dinner I walked to the save-on-foods and Walmart for some shopping. It’s fun to do things like that when you gave all the time In The world.
Plans for Friday are set. I plan to take highway 6 to Kelowna and then stay until Sunday morning.
Tomorrow I plan to do some exploring around the area. Should be another nice day.
