Banff Part 1
Arrived in Banff last night and were very impressed by the hotel yet again. The Fox is really cool, log cabin type building but really modern. It has its own built in hot spring which we will have to check out later.
We headed into the town to have a look around. It has the feel of Aviemore but on a far bigger scale and has far better scenery. We are situated 4,300ft above sea level and no matter what direction you look, all you can see are mountains. It wa...
We checked into the Fox Hotel and Suites last night. The hotel is on the main street (Banff Ave) about 4 or 5 blocks north of downtown Banff. The hotel has an interesting hot tub/pool located on the lower level. It looks and feels as thou you are in a cave with hot springs and when you sit in the hot tub you can look up and see the stars outside because there is a hole in the ceiling that opens to the outside. This is especially nice on a snowy or rainy day, it's beautiful! Last night we ate ...

Compared to current Ontario temperature of -30, Banff still feels warmer, even on a cold day like today. Perhaps, it's because Banff is sheltered within the mountains or maybe it's the dry air. In Ontario, the sun comes up around 7:30am, in Banff the sun doesn't seem to come up until 8:30 or so. It's a challenge to get use to the darkness in the mornings. Today we toured the Cave and Basin it's a National Historic Site of Canada and the birthplace of Canada's national park system. Warm water ...

It has been cold, very cold, the last couple of days. I walked around the block, outside of our hotel and when I returned I had little icicles on my scarf. That was just within 10 minutes! No sense in taking the camera out today, the camera would freeze in the weather. This is a day when you need to cover every inch of skin before going outside to stay warm. This is an indoor day. Trevor's uncle John and aunt Lori picked us up at the hotel and drove around town pointing out sights of interest...

... que nevara. <br>I com va nevar !!! quasi no ho explico per fer 55 punyeteros km !!! Haurieu d'haver vist tot el gel que es va acumular en el cotxe en el trajecte (aixo vol dir que l'haure de netejar pagant un tunel de rentat perque esta ple de merda)<br><br>Abandono definitivament els gelats parcs nacionals despres de 12 dies de molt de trek en dura pujada i baixades fent equilibris per entrar en zones mes calides com Golden, Revelstoke i la vall del riu ...

... Mirror Lake and then taking the Plain of 6 Glaciers trail, which lead through woodland to the start of the Moraines! We began climbing up the slippy trail through the moraine, massive icicles and frozen falls cloaking the right hand valley side. The awesome Victoria glacier coming into view. The trail swaybacked up the moraine, through low scatted trees. Suddenly a noise like thunder was heard, instantly recognizable as thunder anyways, but suddenly I realized avalanche!!! I turned my camera ...

... chocolate!!! Heading back towards Banff we stopped at a couple other places on the loop before heading to HRR to visit Kaitie. Lucky for us we did, as it bucketed down with rain briefly, doing what Banff does best - unpredictability!! We decided to check out the Upper Hot Springs, as I had not been there either - but were put off by the large crowd when we got there so decided to give it a miss, choosing instead return the mopeds a little early ...

... the telephone area code of Jasper, he said "I don't know, I never phone here from outside of the area". Jasper itself was similar to Banff, but less snowy, so most of the hikes were actually open. We hiked around for two more days and then drove back to Banff. On the way back to Banff, Gillat and Or Poran started craving (what's the English word for קריז?) for coke (as in cola, of course :-) ) so we stopped in a ...

... and 10 months respectively, and I enjoy them both for the most part. I am content with things here right now, but I think that is just my peace of mind at the moment. I am ready to move on. I finish my university Economics course in mid-april so I have that to look forward to. (forward as in the future, not by any means am I excited for this exam!). I'm excited to see family again, to have a bit of stability back in my life, my own room, the comforts of home, and ...

... time Banff is going under a transformation, at a cost of $22 million CND.. The main road and pavements are being widened to cope with increased tourism. So it was a bit difficult, and muddy, to get around. It didn't bother us too much though. Like Jasper, its in between the summer and winter season so there weren't as many tourists, (there were still several mass groups of Japanese storming about the place though) so it is probably the best time of year ...
