Trip to Penticton

A few weeks ago we took a bus trip to Penticton, which is inbetween Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake. It was amazing scenery, based around a huge lake but with very dry desert like hills surrounding

 

The first day we rented scooters and went for a ride along the waters edge of Skaha Lake from the top which is Penticton down to the bottom to a little town called Okanagan Falls

 
 
The road ran right beside the Lake the whole drive down
 
The very end of Skaha Lake looking back across the other side to Penticton
 


 
 
We came across a little family of deer on our way back too...mum and two babies


 
This area is full of wineries because it is so dry, so the next day we went to a couple of vineyards to do some wine testing, and have a glass of wine and some nibbles. They were all running up the hill on the side of the lake so had amazing views looking down over the township
