Back from Kelowna, ups and downs

  • Propeller plane where we had seats 1a and 1c – check (great view, but noisy)
  • Hideously long day spent getting from hostel to job fair at hotel  and waiting around until 5.40pm – check (Kelowna highway is one long strip mall)
  • Hideously long walk back to hostel  - check (stopped at pizza join on way back, where pizza and pudding was consumed in record time, and was completely delicious)
  • Terrible night’s sleep in 6 bunk dorm with at least 2 snorers, and bad throats brought on by day spent walking on long road with exhaust fumes – check (Hostel was nice – shower was hot!)
  • Early wake up after bad night’s sleep, with yummy drink that had to be thrown away because of bad tempered, unreasonable bus driver – check (Much easier than walking it)
  • Lots of time spent waiting around – check (Drank so much coke and sprite this weekend)
  • Mad dash home with housemate in order to make hockey game – check (Beautiful scenery, and really quite exciting game - Kaos won again!)
  • Big bowls of icecream consumed when we finally got home – check (Chocolate flavour)
We’ll hear about jobs by the end of the week – fingers crossed!
Pictures are not in order, but they show what we saw out the window on the 4 hour drive back (we did it quicker than this, but got slowed down by the roadworks near a new bridge being built in Surrey).
Looking from West Kelowna back to Kelowna proper
