Emily and I went for a camping trip in the Okanagon, BC this weekend. We've uploaded a bunch of photos on Picasa already, so take a look. We also took some short videos of our tent decorations, the cute wildlife, and kite flying at Lightning Lake (not as dangerous as that sounds).
It honestly surprised me how similar the Okanagon is to home. The Okanagon is very dry, with rolling hills of brown-ish grass, spotted with wineries, horse studs, etc. The only difference is that the landscape is around 5 times taller, they have some beautiful big inland lakes, and some of the mountains are so high they have sub-alpine meadows on their side. Have a look through our photos to see them.
And a HUGE thanks to Tom from work who lent us his car. It's going to get a very good clean before he gets back from his overseas trip. :)

Looks like you had a good time. Camping is always great fun. The area does look similar to home but we have gum trees and the mountains certainly are'nt as high. We did have snow on Barrington last week.
'5 times taller' landscape simply means the Canadians are a lazy lot. Us Ozzies ground our mountains down years ago!!
Only kidding, the Canadian Rockies just blew me away with their beauty. Every corner of their excellent road or railway was another fantastic view.
Great to here you pair had a nice time.
