Oliver With Friends: Part II

Saturday night was great. We had a bbq again (3rd night in a row!), and this one was the best one. It always takes a few tries before you get it right...































On the dinner menu: bbq steak, lamb, chicken, green and red peppers, and zucchini; thanks to Benja, we also enjoyed a great pure de papa, and Vero also prepared a green salad. All this food went down ever so nicely with the wine we'd purchased earlier during the tours.

For dessert I prepared coffee to go along with peaches and other fruits. Jen also bought a dessert wine.

After dinner we went to the beach, where Benja and Sanjit had prepared a bonfire. Amazingly, the wind had died down, so the night was truly pleasant.











































































As on all previous nights, we went to sleep after midnight. My clothes, hair, and skin smelt like smoke, so before going to bed I took a hot shower.

Damn! Sunday morning the wind returned, and it was even more fierce than the previous day. We had to wear caps or hooded sweaters while making breakfast!
















The next picture shows the "whitecaps" on the waves. This was before 9am! Usually at that time during the day the lake's as flat as a mirror!
















Then we took some group photos before packing up and getting ready for our journey. I would go north to Penticton with family, whereas my friends would first conquer Mount Oliver, then travel south along the 97, destination Osoyoos.














































Some parting shots.




























































Note: not all of those empties were ours!
