  • The beautiful Gulf islands in the British Columbia part 2 The beautiful Gulf islands in the British Columbia part 2
    You could see shiny blackberries that hang from the dense roadside bushes. There are unmanned stands that see paper bags with transparent apples.  There are fat oysters which sit in shallow waters.  The turning for every trip is on the beach.  There is also a small mountain down the street which has a weird expedition with the hunter. There is a lot of economic gain here. You should head to the Tibetan style house on the northern end of the island. The riches here also feel quite superfluous. This is one of the finest meals that could be hand here on the island which doesn’t cost you more than thirty dollars. The meal is quite good.  In fact it would probably lure you away from all your new friends. If you are lucky then maybe you might  [...]

  • Live it up in the British Columbia Live it up in the British Columbia
    The sun shines on the rugged coast of British Columbia.  This place is just about two hours to the northwest of Vancouver. The first place you could visit is this trivial corner called ‘secret cove’. Get yourself on a sea kayak.  While you travel from bay to bay, you could navigate around the islands here as well as the many inlets. I fact the closest that you could come to meeting other people here is if you go on a far off sailboat sighting. The sky looks beautiful and there are eagles flying around.  You may even spot seagulls wrestling with fishes in tangled seaweed.  As you move your paddle though the silvery blue water, you can feel that extra weight to the water and the water has certain sheen like the back of whale. The water  [...]

    If you drive about three hundred miles north from Seattle, you would reach the wine country in the west of Canada. It would be a complete thrill if you and your family or your friends were on a road trip to go traveling to taste wine and savor the entire experience. There is a tasting room which you go into and sample the different wines that you fancy.  Once you ease into the journey, you can get into tasting the different wines and chardonnays. The Okanogan valleys have apparently become a major winemaking region. This is because of the glacial till here is quite well drained.  Also the temperature keeps changing because of the eighty five mile long Okanogan Lake. This place runs through the heart of the valley here. If you are looking  [...]
