Then we headed for Vernon. We had lunch in Vernon and made some plans for the rest of our trip. After a quick stop at Vernon Motor Sports (to buy a tinted visor for my helmet) we were off to Kelowna. We've decided that Kelowna is a pain. There is too much traffic and everyone's in a hurry to go no where.
The temperature today was beautiful. I was in full leathers until after kelowna, but when we filled up in West Bank, I took off both my chaps and jacket. I'm glad I did too because just after that we were stopped by construction.
Driving around Okanagan Lake is always a beautiful trip. On the bikes it is even better. We got to Penticton at about 4:00 pm.
Mom decided that we should stay at one of the nicest hotels in Pecticton: "The Pentiction Lakeside Resort" (with a lake side room).
My favourite part of the hotel was that the entire parking lot was pay parking ($5 a day) except of motorbikes. They had their own parking and it was free. Woot for being on the bikes.
We bet up with Mat at Boston Pizza at 5:00 pm. We had a really grood dinner and visit with Matt. After dinner Mom and I went for a swim at the hotel. There was no one in the pool so we had it all to ourselves. It was great.
After our swim we went for a walk along the beach. I did try and take a few pictures, but it was too dark and they came out too blurry. We decided to come back and try our luck at the cassino. (BTW: I only won $6.00 on yesturday's ticket.) We did pretty well actually. I wone enough to play my Keno ticket again (again, we havve to check tomorrow to see if we won anything) and mom walked away about $150.00 ahead.
We're now in our room nearing the end of our night. We ordered pizza and are watching T.V. Well I am, mom is putting silly things on her head. Lack of sleep can do that to a person.
