About an hour North of Nelson is a primo hot springs.. Ainsworth.. a hotel with all the amenities.. a giant 98 degree pool and a 105 degree smaller pool attached to a cave with all kinds of springs running in, very unique and an ice cold 38 degree dip.. I discovered the secret.. you sit in the ice pool for as long as you can, i made it about 2.5 minutes, then hop in the hot pool and wow, it's a kundalini rush of energy that lasts for 10-15 minutes.. i did it over and over!!
So.. Canada is expensive.. grocery store food is move expensive, gas is over $1 a litre, 3.9 liters in a gallon, and the biggest kick is how excited the Canadians are about the Loonie being higher than the dollar right now I guess it is 1.04, i remember recently reading how much you saved going to Canada for vacation, i guess that was over a year ago?? well those days are over.
Our one reprieve was the free ferry ride we took across Kootenay Lake on the way back down South, it is about 5 miles accross the lake and takes 30 minutes or so.. the boys and I were playing up on the top deck and waved at the Captain and next thing i know, they are waving us up to the deck. We got a tour of the whole Captains Deck and the boys got to see the whole operation they were very nice, what a treat!
