Hot Springs and Bennys ****!!

Last night we had arrived in Lake Louise at around 7pm. We were borrowing our boss' condo there and we were so excited to see it. It was a gorgeous three floored house and was surround by trees, the Rocky mountains and snow!!

After the journey there we just settled in for the night and watched a bit of TV.

In the morning we …

Scenery was just incredible!!!

Hey Guys,

So we were on our way to Banff the next morning which was very exciting! I have always wanted to see Banff ever since my Grade 5 teacher went there and sent us all postcards from the Banff Springs Hotel which is the most expensive hotel in Banff. We had a good few hour drive out to Banff from Jasper. But as always, the sun …

Beautiful Banff

So, it's been a luxury in Banff. Firstly we've stayed 3 whole nights, which feels like nearly settling down and secondly Banff is the biggest town we've been in for a while. Also Banff has a fantastic bus system called Roam, which means we've been able to leave Betsy the RV in the campground while we explore the area. We'd done 1300km when we …

Stop 1: The Rockies.

So with all the errands that needed to be done this morning, it was 1pm before we finally pulled out of Lethbridge. We headed up and by-passed Calgary, and as the location says we stopped and decided to stay the night in Banff, Alberta.

We took a drive up to the gondola I wanted to take a trip up the mountain, but at a mere $29.95 per …

Bears at last !

We left Calgary and went to Banff.
Along the highway we passed many signs saying look out for bears but we never saw any. We did see Elk (these are like wild reindeer) climbing on the rocks. We stayed in a brilliant place where we had our own little cabin looking out onto woods, but there was also a pool with water slides which were …

I Pity The April Fool

I whispered 'white rabbit, white rabbit, white rabbit' upon waking, so as not to wake the dozen others in the room, and hoped for the best possible month to come.

The wilderness hostel may have been a bit overwhelming when we first arrived, but my trusty dry shampoo and blanket underneath the sheet to keep me warm worked a treat; I slept …

First Night in Canada

I landed at 11.23am local time for Calgary after i got a connecting flight from Vancouver. Phil managed to run an hour late but that was fine because i had to run to the toilets a couple of times to 'manage' my developing travellers squirts. Phil arrived and we were off, first stop, lunch. We hit up Wendy's. It turns out that here it is much more …

Well and truly back in Banff - July

Well and Truly Back in Banff July 2008 I am pretty sure it was on the 2nd (this is why you shouldn't leave these sort of entries for so long!) that we moved out of the "lovely" Arrow Hotel room into Lachlan's little studio apartment to housesit while he had a 3 week trip back to Oz (another Adelaidian by the way). We were so lucky to be able to …

Oh the Sunshine!

Well, well, this is a treat...2 entries within the space of a few days! I went up to Sunshine on Thursday for some more boarding. I told myself before I left that I was going to have a good day (was a little apprehensive as I really hurt myself the 2 previous times) and I did! I boarded for about 3.5hrs straight and then decided that was enough for …
