Amazing breakfast with real European style pancakes. Biking in the morning with Martina and her friend Beth on the old railway changed to trail (The Rails to Trails). Without her guidance we wouldn't ever ends up on this trail, because it wasn't very suitable for ours bikes. But it was very nice, totally worthy, leads high through cliffs and steep hillsides above the valley and with nice views to Burrell River valley. We met old couple, artists, who created something like outdoor gallery from old railroads spikes, screws, bolts, rocks... Then biked through two tunnels, before the second one we said goodbye to Martina and Beth. Thanks you very much for everything again, it was amazing visit and coincidence, that we met you. After a second tunnel the heavy clouds started to pour a rain on us. Very soon we were dressed in all our rain gears. After Eholt we left the Rail trail and continued on Hwy #3 to Greenwood. There finally stopped to rain and we camped in Osaka Park, this town have significant Japanese population, forced by Canadian government to move here during the Second World War. We tent in a small pavilion, near was an old bike shop with huge pile of old and broken bikes behind. I found there nice "touring" handlebars, so I spent the whole evening, modifying my bike.
