    Hello Ginger!

    Yes I have enjoyed the trip!

    And it is interesting to see, how different people are in different places. I have noticed, to begin with, that English is different in different parts of Canada!

          My experience with visitors has been the same as Ginger's. Jukka , besides Kimberely and Penticton do you have any other destinations in BC planned?

            Hello Sis!

            Yes, I do have noticed that and changed some of my plans.

            The other destinations in BC are Trail and Vancouver. Going to travel back east after that.

                I guess you meant Vancouver city and not Vancouver Island (Victoria) ? Traveling thru BC you will notice the landscape changes a lot between mountain ranges, valleys, forests, rivers, lakes and the coast. I hope you're enjoying your trip.

                  Hello you all!

                  Yes, Sis, meaning the city of Vancouver.

                  In Kimberley at the moment, the germanesque town of the Rockies...

                    While you are in BC don't forget to sample yourself a real nanaimo bar.

                      Jukka, are you watching the NHL Heritage Classic between the Canucks and the Senators today? A Canadian experience is watching a hockey game from a sports bar/restaurant.
                      In Vancouver there is usually no snow in the city therefore one is able to golf in morning then ski or snowboard at Grouse Mountain, Cypress and Mount Seymour in the afternoon. You seem to visiting Canada while it is experiencing its worse winter in 30 yrs, so Vancouver does have snow today but it should be gone in a day to two. Stanley Park and Capilano Suspension bridge are both popular with tourists.


                      Vancouver Island is one of the most scenic areas in BC such as:
                      Butchard Gardens, Cathedral Grove (old growth temperate rain forest, trees 300-1000 yrs old), Long Beach /Tofino area, Totem poles, Whale watching tours, Empress Hotel, Parliament buildings: I second Magpie’s suggestion to try a Nanaimo bar while in BC (most bakeries should offer them)!

                      Discover an ocean-carved land of extremes ranging from mild to wild, cultured to life-affirmingly raw. Backpack in majestic wilderness parks. Marvel at orcas, black bears and the sheer abundance of furred, feathered and finned wildlife. Gaze at distant snowcapped mountains while splashing barefoot along softly curving beaches. Relax, restore and recharge yourself in the region’s … Continued

                        Hello Sis!

                        Watched it on television!

                        Partially Kimberley is really German, but partially like a German disneyland.

                        Well, in Cranbrook today before heading to Trail.

                            An interesting memorial for the Champions of Trail. Not only for hockey, but also curling, music, etc.

                            And the hockey arena(s) have library and museum in the same building, practical...

                              If you’re interested in hockey history, Victoria Cougars won the Stanley Cup in 1925 against the Montreal Canadians of the NHL, the Cougars were the last non NHL team to win the Stanley cup. More info regarding Hockey history in Victoria including two girls hockey teams Cougarettes and the Cardinals below:

                                Hello Sis!

                                I run an ice hockey related website, so I have a hunch about them. But of course it is impossible to know everything, thank you!

                                Heading to Penticton today.
