For the first day of  our Kelowna visit I had three pre-arranged meetings and from  what came out of those, I planned to let the rest of the day's activities develop spontaneously. First order of the day was to stop in at the Tourism Kelowna  Visitor's Centre to pick up an information package that Catherine had left for me.

The drive into Kelowna  along Westside Road is both spectacularly beautiful and hair-raising. Round every curve in the road - and there are many curves -  you see vista after vista of stunning mountains and lake.  Sometimes the road drops down so steeply that it  feels as though you are driving into an infinity pool. The hair-raising bit comes from the occasional driver on the road who screams up behind at a speed way over the speed limit and then drives so close on  your tail that a sudden need to brake for a deer or anything else would inevitably mean a collision. And we have seen lots of deer munching away on the side of the  road.
