We were amazed at the vistas and pleasantly surprised at how inviting the BC people were.
We never expected to have such a wonderful time in Tofino, Victoria, Vancouver, Penticton etc.
A few pics tell a lot.
we will never forget our beautiful trip to British Columbia.

I have bicycled in Canada on five different occasions and lovedit every time. My last trip was from Vancouver to Calgary. We loved the scenery and found the Canadian poeple warm and welcoming. The roads and drivers were excellent too. I am returning this summer to bicycle from Calgary again!

If you are in Victoria and don't go on a Whale Watching tour, you don't know what you are missing.
Every time we go to Victoria, we go on a Prince of Wales Whale Watching tour and have never been let down-we see whales every time.
The last time we were out there, the guide took us to the east side of Vancouver Island as that is where the recent sightings had been. Our zodiac was pointed east towards the island when I looked to my right and saw a HUGE dorsal fin coming towards us. I motioned to our guide who requested that we hang on the hand rails as the whale was coming in our direction-from the side! He then requested we hang on with both hands as the whale got closer to us. Just then the whale submerged and went right underneath us!!!! It was the most exhilerating feeling in the world knowing this massive mammal was right beneath us. The whale surfaced not more than 15 feet from the left side of the boat where I was sitting! He was so close I felt like I could reach out and touch him-what a magnificent sight! I have never been that close to a whale before but look forward to going there again to see these magnificent mammals!

2 places I went to in Sept 2006 will always stay in my mind. Bear Ridge Cabins just outside of Nakusp and the Halcyon Hot Springs north of Nakusp.
The view from the hot springs was breath taking to say the least. The view of Arrow Lake from the pool deck was magnificent, the hot springs unsurpassed and the extra special treatment I received during my facial and massage were excellent.
Bear Ridge Cabins were delightful! Cozy, comfortable, affordable and the owners Martin and Judith went beyond the call to make my stay memorable.
I would highly recommend a stay at Bear Ridge and a soak at Halcyon Hot Springs. I will be going there again in the near future.
