On to Terrace

Well, so it's time for us to move on (again). Decided to head for Terrace where we are booked into a family run B&B for a couple of nights. It's good to get back into the mountains again. Weather too improves as we head East.

Arriving fairly early and too early to check in, we were very interested to see what a small traditional 'First Nations' town was like which entailed about an hour's drive to the north to a place called 'New Aiyansh'. Well, it WAS called that but the local council have decided to change the name to something more traditional. Impossible for westerners to pronounce - obviously!

We like the totem poles and the design of the local place of worship though:

On the road to Gitlaxt'aamiks, we encountered a massive lava lake and lava bed:

But it's the mushrooms that seem to take centre stage around here!

Having played the tourist for a couple of hours, we ended up at our B&B to meet our swiss hosts (and Fluffy the dog!).

The place is being re-roofed so there is a bit of noise during the day but that doesn't bother us much as typically we will be out and about. The current owners moved here some four years ago and have made quite a few changes - it has three guest rooms and two separate bathrooms. It's apparently a great base for fishing and pretty soon (in about four weeks time) it will probably be fully booked for the Salmon fly fishing season. At the moment, we are the only guests. So that's nice!
