Travel

As the boat hummed along, cutting across the calm waters of the lake, I looked outside the window to take in the view. Swathes of trees on the land passed by, broken only by big rocks scattered here and there. The sky was crystal blue with no winds blowing. At the front, the lake stretched far away bordered by distant low hills. I could spot another houseboat which only looked like a speck on the horizon. My binoculars gave me a better view. Inside the boat, Ram and Akshaya were at the steering wheel, navigating the boat while chatting, Dwaraka was reading a book and Divu was taking a nap. The gentle rocking of the boat was lulling me into sleep as well. It was all so relaxing and calming. We were on a 3 Day houseboat trip in the Shuswap Lake near Sicamous, BC, which calls itself the houseboat capital of Canada.
