NAIROBI, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Kenya sevens rugby team will hobble back home on Tuesday after disastrous performance in Vancouver, Canada with hopes that they will improve in the next leg of the World Series in Hong Kong next month.


Head coach Innocent Simiyu blamed loss of crucial technical team coach Briton Ian Gibbons, who was in charge of strength and conditioning and other off field problems, to be behind their dismal performance but promised to improve on their tour to the East at the Hong Kong Sevens on April 7-9.


""Strength and Conditioning is critical to this team. We need somebody to take up the role fast,"" he said.


Kenya exited the Vancouver leg, the sixth stop in the 12 round series, at the Challenge trophy after losing to Samoa.


The East African nation failed to repeat the same fete achieved in Las Vegas last week, as they were bundled out of the Challenge Trophy after losing 7-26 to Samoa in the cup semi-final.


This left Kenya placed 12th on the Sevens World Sevens. The team, which returns to the country on Tuesday, has collected just 5 points, taking their tally to 40 points after six rounds of the current season.


In Hong Kong leg on April 7-9, Kenya are in Pool B having been drawn alongside South Africa, Canada and France.

After a 45-min boat ride nike vapormax blau schweiz , our BC Ferry docks at Otter Bay on Pender Island, or the "Penders," as the locals say.锟?The two Penders (north and south islands) were once joined by a wide neck of land known as the Indian Portage. A narrow canal was dredged in 1903 to benefit steamship travel through the Gulf Islands.锟絋he islands remained separated until a one-lane bridge was built in 1955.

The Penders have a mild climate, lots of parks and hiking trails, and almost forty beach access points. South Pender has about 10% of the population, has fewer roads and lots of natural unspoiled vegetation. North Pender has most of the population. There is no town center nike vapormax herren schweiz , but there is a small shopping area (Driftwood Centre) with a gas station, restaurants, grocery store, drug store, liquor store, bank nike vapormax damen schweiz , and bakery.

We drive the 15 km from Hope Bay to the Poet's Cove Resort and Spa. We meet the super-friendly staff at the reception desk. "Why is the resort called Poet's Cove?" I ask. 锟絆ver the next two days, no one can give me an answer, but the stunning architecture, interior design, and the serenity of the resort make it easy to understand.

As we explore the resort, we find solid wood nike vapormax schwarz schweiz , granite, and soft colours blended together perfectly, making for an overall feeling of warmth and comfort. There are three types of accommodation at the resort: Villas, cottages, and Lodge rooms. Each of these is tastefully decorated with a view of the Marina and Bedwell Harbour.锟絀t's easy to see why any poet worth her weight in salt would find this beautiful, romantic nike vapormax flyknit schweiz , and comfortable resort truly inspirational.

Going the extra mile is evident in every detail, from heated bathroom floors, solid wood doors, bedside fireplaces, granite counter tops, and private hot tubs nike vapormax schweiz , to welcome cards, chocolate truffles, bathroom toiletries, and folded towels. Our cottage has a deck heater, barbeque, and hot tub. It feels like someone really cares.

Our resort stay would not be a resort stay without a treatment at the Susurrus ("whispering sound") Spa nike presto fleece schweiz , so we book ourselves in for a massage and a pedicure. The Spa is spacious with six treatment rooms. Outside on the deck is a sandstone steam cave complete with a large waterfall and a Jacuzzi at the bottom. Service choices include facials, body wraps, manicures, pedicures, massage, and beauty treatments.锟絎hen we emerge afterwards nike presto safari schweiz , we can see the contentment on each other's face.

After a dip in our private hot tub, we spend a restful night in our cottage overlooking the marina.锟絎e awake the next morning and head for breakfast at the Aurora Restaurant, a luxurious dining room with an attentive staff.锟絋he breakfast is excellent, serving some of the best "bennies" on the west coast!锟絃ater that night we return for dinner. We follow our waiter Andres' suggestions and are greatly rewarded.锟紸s we sit in front of a warm fire sipping red wine with Andres serving us excellent food, it's easy to tell we were at a first class resort! Everything about Poets Cove is first class.

A visit to the activity centre surprises us with what is available. Whale watching, eco-tours nike presto br schweiz , vineyard tours, fishing, sailing, scuba diving and kayaking.锟絋he resort has two swimming pools and a well-equipped fitness centre as well.

To complete our visit to the Penders, we visit a number of local businesses.锟絋he first is Blood Star Gallery. We'd noticed Susan Taylor's artwork in the dining lounge at Poet's Cove. Her gallery is on the south end of Pender Island and has incredible views of Mount Baker.锟絇aintings, drawings nike presto mid utility schweiz , and folk art by Susan Taylor and Frank Ducote are inspired by the sea and island surroundings.

We check out Sahhali Oceanfront Luxury Bed and Breakfast and meet new owners Frank and Michelle Hiebert. They show us their newest renovations to their spectacular accommodations high on Oak Bluff!

Carol Hoffmann at Ferndale B&B is most gracious to show us her place even though she has a full house of guests.锟絊pacious bedrooms and a comfy guest lounge are the highlights of this B&B.锟?br >
A Place of Your Own B&B is operated by Ken and Jean Daley, very friendly hosts. They offer a private suite on the lower floor with a private entrance overlooking Navy Channel. It has a deck near the water for kayak or canoe storage.锟絀t's a great place to kayak as it faces a protected channel where Mayne Island.锟?br >
At Renaissance Gallery you can buy unique homemade jewelry and search for unusual antiques. Peter & Tessa Emming.
