Catch the rabbits!

Kelowna has a real rabbit-problem. They are running freely and in dozens in the middle of the city and there are no real enemies around to reduce the population - exept for the cars who run them over by accident sometimes.

Visit to the Chute lake

Hiking in the Chute lake area, along the old Kettle Valley Railway. Better take your mosquito spray along next time! It was very humid around the area but still peaceful and good fishing grounds.

Penticton with Skaha- and Okanagan lake



The deer is not too shy around here, so close-up meetings are quite possible. But still no bear in sight!

The campers

After almost five months of travelling, Josianne, Lorenz and Sean reached the Okanagan with their camper. Their journey will take them to Montreal, that's another 4'000km down the road, before they return to good old Switzerland. Thousand of stories are waiting to be told and some just rest in their memories.

Sean is playing at Skaha lake, scaring away the sand-flees.

Watch out for these bulls!

A few minutes from our place, you feel like in the wild west. The forests seem endless and the cattle runs freely through the bushes. But I would not get too close to this one...



And then, there are these cart robbers - unbelievable!

Our new home

Here we are, we finally managed to post some pictures of our new home. We are living in the basement and our living-/eatingroom and the kitchen are faceing the beautyful backyard. It is really quiet and the landlord's wife takes good care of the garden. We are free to help ourselves with all the growings. We started to make our own bread - always fresh and the way we like it :-)

Vlad, our slovakian landlord likes soccer and prepares well for the EURO 08. He also tries to train me, but I am a sort of nut case when it comes to soccer.

Chef's special

Darin is preparing the Peking Duck. It will be a special dish on saturday. He also made the fish-sausages for our Bouillabaise. They will be grilled and then served with the soup and Aioli-Sauce - mmmh delicious!

Under construction!

The front-area of the restaurant has been reshaped, so that now, people can actually see the restaurant while driving by. Trees and bushes have been cut down and concrete has been put in, to put up the new fence. Tomorrow is Mother's Day, one of the busiest days of the year!

Lucky Luke for one day

This farm with 72 horses, is located outside Vernon. We decided to go horseback riding - yhaa! So we picked up some friends in Vernon and went to this place, located in the nowhere. The place was a real mess. They sure looked after the horses but the inside of the house was really chaotic and smelled of catpiss - eeeehhhh!


Defenitely not the first time on a horse! We even got real cowboy boots.


Corinne got "Bandit Boy". I don't know if he was so pleased about it...


The dogs really loved my sister!
