      Ein Riss

      June 10, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Heute der zweite Tag in Osoyoos. Ausflug nach Wine Village und in die umliegenden Weinberge uns Obstplantagen.
      UND die Feststellung dass die Windschutzscheibe von meinem Auto gerissen ist. Der Steinschlag gestern hat doch Folgen gehabt...😟😟😟🥺☹️☹️ Ohne Zwischenfälle geht's ja bei mir nicht... ich hoffe sie hält noch einige Tage bis zur Abgabe. Ich hoffe das Auto ist gut versichert 🙈🙈Read more

    • Day 2

      Surrey-Osoyoos

      August 5, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Heute ging für meine Frau und mich das Abenteuer Canada-Alaska los.
      Nachdem wir ausgepackt hatten fuhren wir die ersten 80 km auf der Autobahn Richtung Osten.
      Danach wurde die Strasse zu einer für ausgebauten Teerstrasse die bei Berganstiegen dann immer zweispurig wurden. Es war relativ wenig Verkehr. Ab Mittag wurde es schwül warm und wir führen durch ein Tal wo eine Bergseite komplett brandet. Landschaftlich fühlten wir uns wie in Südtirol.
      Wir kamen früh in Osoyoos an jedoch waren die Zeltplätze alle voll, sodas wir gezwungen waren ein Motel zu nehmen. Hier stebt der Bär, was wahrscheinlich mit dem langen Wochenende zusammen hängt.

    • Day 9

      Rivers, Coulees & Scrubland

      June 15, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Our route today was tricky to plan as there was no direct route through this part of the State of Washington. We were working with a new GPS and had to make a couple of stops just to make sure that we were taking the best route as we tried to avoid two mountain passes. Ninety percent of our route so far has been on two-lane highways and today was no different except for short stretches on interstates. The landscape was varied as we drove along the Columbia River, on the Coulee Corridor National Scenic Byway, past caves, lakes, dams and the Rattlesnake Hills (with rattlesnake warnings at the rest areas). The road was winding and rolling. It was hot and dry. This was our longest day of driving as it took us 10 hours to get to Oliver, BC , just 30 minutes from the US border.

      This was the first time that I have had a very bad experience at the Canadian border crossing. There was only one lane open and a semi truck in front of me. When the semi pulled away from the booth, I moved forward from the stop sign. As soon as I got to the booth I was greeted with, “DID I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO COME HERE?” He was red faced and yelling at me. I told him I had stopped at the stop sign but apparently I “DIDN’T WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT”. After 10 hours of driving, I honestly didn’t even see the red light. He kept reprimanding me and eventually yelled the routine questions. I was tempted to ask for his name and number but I knew that would just escalate things. He did mumble something about “guns in a vehicle” and “dangerous situation” so maybe something was happening at the border or he was just having a rough day or he hated his job. I would have preferred “Welcome home to Canada”!

      We ended our day in Oliver with the best Greek food that I have ever eaten. Service was slow and prices were higher than usual but sitting on the patio of the Savvios Family Restaurant with a glass of local wine was just what we needed.
