Vancouver to Kelowna

Our second day in Vancouver did not amount to much unfortunately. Our swap orientation was at 11am, basically an hour of applying for social security numbers and getting information on banks and cellphones.
After our orientation we split off into little groups and went to open bank accounts and set up our phones. The bank was, mercifully, quick and painless - our cellphone set up, not so much. I was in a group of five, trying to all set up our phones with one cellphone man (thankfully he was joined by another man after a while), which resulted in us spending about 2-3 hours in an underground mall. By the time we made it back upstairs we had lost all daylight (even though it was only 4:30pm) which basically left us with the only option of heading back to the hostel and biding our time until dinner.
Our dinner was hosted by the Moose Travel bus driver, he shouted us to three free drinks and a rather large amount of food (although the main meal was a sufficiently sub par version of beef stroganoff) and went around each table to meet everyone and give us the information we needed for the following day. The evening was good, it gave us an opportunity to meet some of the Australians who would be joining us at Panorama and to get a free meal. Who doesn't like free food, really?
That nights sleep was pretty rough. Despite going to bed early in preparation for our long day, sleep was intermittent and broken completely when two girls were added to our room at 2am. We were far from impressed. And yet we soldiered on. Up at 7am, all packed and ready to go by 8:15.
The Moose tour took us out of Vancouver to this beautiful park which is home to the "Bridal Falls", a quick walk up some very slippery slopes brought us right up next to the waterfall which left us sufficiently soaked. Despite the wet, we were all able to take some great photos of the falls and surrounding nature.
From the falls we were taken to a town called Hope which has the Othello (silent 't') Tunnels. The tunnels were kind of cool, but the best part was the big river right next to them - so we spent most of the time taking shots of that instead.
An hour later we were in the snow. Freddy (the bus driver) took us to a rest stop for five minutes so we could use the "washroom", however it turned into about fifteen minutes of us taking photos while trying to not be hit by flying snow balls. After a couple more hours of driving we ended up in the clouds, 6000ft above Vancouver. Dense fog and snow surrounded us. It was rather beautiful.
So now we are here. In Kelowna. Tonight's agenda is a salmon BBQ and bowling. Should be interesting.
