Easy, domestic day today. 3 hours were spent driving to and back from Kelowna airport. We needed to drop Steve & Jennie's hire car off and add Jennie to the insurance on my hire car. Well, we don't need 2 cars between us whilst we are here in Penticton.
We did spend some time in Peachland for lunch and ice creams. Peachland is pretty idylic down by the lakeside. Suspect we may head back at some point. Though there are some pretty idylic spots nearer to Penticton to also explore.
Before heading out to Kelowna we visited the bike shop and the running shop in central Penticton. Wandering between the two we stumbled upon a Budget car hire place with a couple of convertible Mustangs. Bit extravagent perhaps but we're planning on hiring one (maybe both) to recee the bike course. How cool will it be to drive the 180k course in a 5litre muscle car. With the top down we should be able to get some photos that aren't taken through a bug splattered windscreen. $120CAN for a day is about £70 which doesn't seem too bad an expense. It's certainly a lot cheaper than $450CAN I was quoted for a 15minute helicopter trip.
We've now been joined by Stewart Ingram who is staying in Steve, Jennie and Isla's trailer. Melvin and Maria are now also in town with their RV at another site.
Tomorrow I'm planning for another explore on the bike.
