The Sunny Okanagan doesn't disappoint.

It's Sunday night and we have had a great few days enjoying autumn here in wine country. We were in Osoyoos at the N'kmip Resort Thursday & Friday nights. The last time we stayed there was exactly five years ago, shortly after we bought Kingsley and we were real greenhorns! Actually, we were quite terrified about the prospect of owning this antique coach and getting it to operate safely.At that first rally, our fellow GMCers helped us with parts and expertise and many of them have become our good friends.
We were parked next to the water and it was a perfect spot.
Friday we rode the bikes into town and on to several resorts. Many changes in the last five years.
Saturday, we toured the N'kmip winery and the adjacent condos. They have done a wonderful job designing and decorating them. Later on we headed north to Penticton and the Park Royal RV park where we have stayed before. It's a lovely spot right near the beachfront.
Sunday, a very long bike ride and then Caryl(Alan's sister) & Warwick drove us to Naramata for some wine tasting and wine buying! They joined us for dinner in the coach, our first dinner guests since the renovation. It has been a wonderful day, weather-wise, warm and sunny.
More tomorrow and pictures too!
