• Osoyoos ➡️OK Falls (🍷🍷🍷)

    August 15, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 39 °C

    Spent the night at NK’MIP, on lake Osoyoos.

    The most American campsite ever (despite being in Canada). Everyone goes for the full summer with their RVs and creates a mini city. They couldn’t understand why we were only there for one night.

    Missed last orders at the restaurant by 2 mins, so ended up drinking a bottle of wine instead.

    Went out on SUPs in the morning and felt like we were the only ones there (no one seems to do anything before 10am here… I like it)

    Then drove up along the lake. We knew there were some wineries, but don’t think we’d appreciated how many… We passed over 40, on a 1 hour drive! Katie got the short straw and was designated driver, whilst Oli got increasingly pissed (and she had expensive apple juice)

    Visited La Stella (nice view, boring bloke serving), Maverick (incredible wine, the most amazing lady serving us), Hester Creek (Italian style villa, classy vibes). Then reached the campsite in Okanagan Falls.

    On hindsight, don’t know why we stayed here. Lovely campsite, but the town is a bit s**t. Walked around for an hour and found one pizzeria (had food poising written all over it) and a lot of questionable used car dealers.

    Decided we needed more wine, and to leave OK Falls ASAP, so we visited See Ya Later, on the top of the hill. This sounded lovely in theory. But the drive was like an Alpine pass, with hairpin bends and blind corners, which was great fun in a 27ft Motorhome.

    Drank some more wine (there’s a theme here) and then headed back down to OK Falls. Cooked steaks and chips and sat out on the picnic bench.

    Top tips for any future traveller: don’t stay in OK Falls, visit more wineries, don’t be designated driver.
