Day 21 Kamloops

Road to Kamloops

Warming up at the campsite

Kamloops river park

Canadian market at Kamloops

Coffee decorating

We continue to head south and the rain continue to disappear and we are hoping tonight there will be no rain at all. We are entering the wine making area of Canada ( like Napa Valley) and all of a sudden there is an abundance of fruits ( cherries, plums , nectarines etc all grown locally and cheap).

The history in brief is : There was a group of 173 men and one pregnant woman who came this way looking for gold ( what else?) in 1896. These people came over the Rockies and hence are called overlanders. Others came by sea taking a much longer route around the south america. These people named pretty much everything around here.

Kamloops is big ( 85,000 people) and is nice but nothing very special. They have a coffee decorating contest, I am sending pictures of the fourth place person ( in the contest around BC). Also, they have a bridge which they encourage you to walk on for exercise up and down the steps. It is situated on a river bank and has a nice long park where kids were playing. We just hung out in the downtown and are planning to head south early in the morning. We are camping tonight and it is nice and relatively warm.

My black berry has reception most of the times so i am a happy camper ( literally) Writing this blog from the campsite sitting by the fire.

Good night and will be in touch tomorrow.
