Where was your favourite place?

Choosing one place is too difficult, so I'll give you my top 3!

My favourite countries that I have visited are Thailand, Vietnam and Australia. They all have beautiful beaches and landscapes, as well as many interesting things to do and see. Snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef (Australia), spending the day with Elephants in Chiang Mai (Thailand) and kayaking in Ha Long Bay (Vietnam) were just some of the highlights of these amazing destinations!

Attraction - Mission Creek Regional Park Review

Gold Panning

5*

---

I visited Mission Creek primarily to gold pan which is entirely legal if you only use a spade and a gold pan (no heavy equipment etc.) As this was so close to our families house and seeing as they'd never heard about the possibility of finding gold here I was skeptical; I associate gold bearing rivers with more remote locations in the middle of nowhere! Alas, I bought a small gold pan for $10CAD from a local shop (Fred's shop) and within my first pan I found gold flakes! I spent 2 days of my trip here panning and it was awesome fun, even though the river was thawing and it was absolutely freezing. We would've spent more time if given the opportunity. Other than the gold panning aspect, it was an amazing park, with facilities located along the stretch of river, a bike park that was very well maintained (i.e. not randomly built and unregulated) and nice paths to run/cycle/walk-dogs on. Apparently there are bears around so beware. Overall I would definitely spend a day or 2 here if visiting Kelowna, especially with family.

Restaurant - Cactus Club Cafe Kelowna Yacht Club Review

Saturday Dinner

4*

---

Our family took us to Cactus Club for a weekend meal. We pre-booked a table as apparently it can get busy. Our table was situated by the window overlooking the lake which was nice, and there was a good amount of room. Service was excellent and the waiters/waitresses were very professional. They had a good selection of beers and the meals looked very nice. I had the cheddar burger as a main, which was also on happy hour deals; the burger was cooked well and tasty. The starter and desert I had were also nice and overall the price was reasonable (average for such an establishment). We had a nice time here and I would definitely return; I know our family in Kelowna visit very regularly!
