The Amazing Journey Part IV

Day Six:  After enjoying breakfast in the concierge lounge we again asked for recommendations from the concierge.  "Here is our destination.  What should we do along the way?"  We were advised to stop in Kelowna, BC, Canada.  This is known as "North Napa" as it is the wine region of Canada. 


Kelowna was a gorgeous area with mountains, lakes, and vineyards everywhere. 


After visiting 4 vineyards, we had an incredible dinner at Mission Hills Winery.  Pictured above, this terrace dining is only open a few months each year.  The menu was delectable and the view, well, you can see the view.

After dinner we walked along Lake Okanogan (Oh-ka-nog-in) where there was everything from outdoor ballroom dancing to lawn bowling.  The place was active!  So much to see and do.  The weather was perfect for an evening stroll and by the time we made it back to our hotel we discovered a "movie on the lawn." 

Yes, it was Casablanca.  I had never seen that movie before this night and I thoroughly enjoyed myself here.  The hotel we chose (Delta) had a private marina accessible only by a small lock.



The lock is to the far left of the picture.  I didn't know what it was when I took the picture or I would have done a little better. 

Off to bed to prepare for the next days adventure.  Stay tuned!

Tip for today:  Evening strolls are romantic!
