HELLS BELLS!!
Hi All!
Lake Louise has been fantastic! - weve seen some stunning scenery, been snow shoeing, skiiing, hiking and ice skating on the lake. The lake itself is over a kilometer and a half long and was named after Queen Victorias fourth daughter "Louise Caroline Alberta", around the early 1900s. The princess never actually saw the lake, as she was involved in a sleigh accident with her husband and had to return to England. The province "Alberta" is also named ...

A Tale of Two Mountains
... for me. I really don't like them at all!! Always feel like they are going to plummet to earth and take me down with them. At the bottom of the mountain was our reward - a nice soak in the natural hot springs. They were 39 degress centigrade so we were advised to only stay in there for max 20 mins otherwise you would start to boil. It was really nice and a great way to recover after walking up two mountains in one day! We ...
