Today we cycled along the freshly-asphalted 30km RailTrail between Cranbook and Kimberley - our only proper try of a Canadian Rail Trail so far. It was great. We are now in Kimberley, where the central city area has been revamped into Alpine German/Austrian style, with the painted wooden facades, a 'mozart' cafe and a Bavarian Bratwurst diner. It's very nicely done; very clean; clever stone paving on the traffic-free road - just slightly artificial! Had a divine (cycling makes everything taste so good) cinnamon swirl at the local Bakery and Tea House. After checking our emails we'll be popping in to get another one!
Nice to see photos ... and I like your new cycling shirt!

ReplyDeleteHow's the finger surviving?
Couldn't rescue your daphne...rained and rained first two weekends home and I didn't get the trailer. Finally have soil in the garden though, so should get into the veggies soon enough.
By the way, the plum and apricot stones I brought home from our trip are growing! Have 7 (very) little trees now.
