ON THE ROAD

August 2006
 

I hope you like these, 39 out of about 800. My cousin Karin and I met in Vancouver on August 8th, flew to Calgary on August 9th, overnighted in Canmore and looked at Banff and Lake Louise on August 10th and drove down to Kelowna through the passes in very variable weather - thunder and lightning, torrential rain and hail. We visited a couple of wineries on Lake Okanagan on August 11th and drove down the Coquihalla to Vancouver. In Vancouver from August 11th to 14th, we went up to Whistler, did Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and visited the Museum of Anthropology at UBC. Then on to Victoria and touristy things on Vancouver Island till August 23rd when my cousin flew back to England.

The pictures are only thumbnails - click on them for larger ones - a few are quite spectacular (oh, I'm sooo modest).  :)
