http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33380 Bill Reid was an acclaimed Haida master goldsmith, carver, sculptor, writer and spokesman, and one of Canada's greatest artists.
His artwork ranges from exquisite gold and silver jewellery to full sized totem poles and ocean-going canoes carved from massive timbers. These pieces embody his evolving interpretation of his native heritage and how he extended the traditional artistic vocabulary to embrace modern ideas and forms. He played a pivotal role in reviving interest in native art forms among the younger generations of Canada's First Nations, and in presenting those arts to a wider world.
There is a small entrance fee for the museum but it is worth every penny to see such a great collection of Reid's work gathered together under one roof.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33380 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31947 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31947 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31946 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31946 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31942 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31942 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31940 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31940 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29860 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29860 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29817 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29817 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29816 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29816 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28708 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28677 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28677 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28323 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28323 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28322 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28322 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27197 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27197 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27184
I have also swam at New Brighton Pool where the water is chlorinated but the lifeguards play jazz music from their stereo while you swim. Very relaxing atmosphere!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27184 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26028
All this should be experienced on a Harley Davidson Electroglide. We rented ours from Cycle BC Rentals in Vancouver. Details of which can be found at www.cyclebc.ca, t: 1-866-380-2453.

We didn't book our accommodation in advance, but stumbled across the wonderfully welcoming and reasonably priced Reynolds Hotel (Reynolds Hotel, 1237 Main Street, Lillooet, www.reynoldshotel.com)

Flights were booked through Canadian Affair and in June cost about £350 each (www.canadianaffair.com)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26028 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23081
Stroll through the vineyards then sample the produce whilst you learn about the bird that gives this place its name.

Take a refreshing dip in the pool, or just enjoy the view from your terrace, before treating your taste buds with a combination of fine wine and fine food. The chef and wine maker work together to give you a meal to remember.

A delicious breakfast to match the fabulous view may tempt you to stay another night! Expensive, yes, but worth every penny.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23081 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23008 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23008 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22282 While there you could WWOOF, which is a voluntarily work scheme in which you work for food and accommodation, usually five hours a day. A brilliant way to meet the locals and save money.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22282
