My beautiful wife and I started this adventure on the 25.01.2018!
Join us in discovering the amazingly wondrous world of Canada 🍁

  • Tyrell Dinosour Museum in Drumheller

    7. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Lots of bones! Watch a skilled anthropologist clean a dinosour bone right in front of you! Stick your head in a t-rex skull! Read lots of signs and drown people in facts!
    The staff of the Tyrell museum do a amazing job at conserving and displaying this part of earth history, it's not just a dusty museum, it's an adventure through time.Les mer

  • Showtime! CS Evening show

    8. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    In the grandstand overlooking the racetrack the evening starts with a nailbiting chuckwaggon race. We have never seen a horse drawn carriage move so fast and even drift around corners!
    After the race they drag a whole stage onto the racetrack for an amazing show with dancers, acrobats and fireworks! We absolutely recommend to see it!Les mer

  • Our first rodeo!

    9. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Somebody told us you should never say that it is our first rodeo, but oh well...
    Bull riding, bucking horses, clowns, pony catching, lassos and other breakneck cowboy abilities are shown off here. Can you catch a calf with a lasso from horseback, jump off, have your horse keep the rope under tension and then tie up the calves feet within 7 seconds? It took you longer to read this sentence!Les mer

  • From Butterflies to lions!

    10. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    The Calgary zoo does a really good job a making the animals feel quite at home, and they have quite the diversity. We got up close to tigers, lions, cougars and wolves. Somebody might notice they are all from different continents. The lions probably don't like the snow though....Les mer

  • On the road again!

    10. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Goodbye Calgary, hello being blocked by wild goats, and this time also cattle at large! Exploring the southern part of the BC Rockies we came across some truly picturesque landscapes. Sad we don't have more time, our next job is waiting...Les mer

  • Road to Bella Coola

    24. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Impressive views await, oh and don't forget the chewing gum. On the mountain pass you will drive down about 700 meters! You can feel the air pressure difference in your ears! Also no barriers, so instead of looking out the window, look at the road. Or those 700m will be over quite quickly.Les mer

  • Bella Coola

    24. juli 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Norwegians settled here first and had to carve a road inland with just one(!) Bulldozer and lots of dynamite.
    Bella Coola sits at the edge of the Pacific and a coastal rain forest, everything is lush green and overwhelmingly beautiful.Les mer

  • Playing chef

    3. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    When panic breaks out, adrenalin takes over! Actually nobody panicked, only Thilo got into a bit of a sweat in front of the oven. Than you Melissa for preparing every thing! We would have been lost without you!Les mer

  • Food

    6. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Well, lets just say loosing weight here is hard! Really hard! Trust me I went to the gym like at least once in six weeks, and no improvement!!!
    But no one can say no to Dave's ribs...

  • Secret Waterfall

    9. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Well some miners found it before us I guess. They build the miners cabin here and bears use it as a scratch post... nature at its finest. Like most creeks, the waterfall is feed by glacial lakes.

  • Hidden cabin at Muir lake

    9. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    This is without doubt the place where all postcards are made! Listen up you that need romantic advise: if you want a guarantee for a romantic spot, this is it! Don't forget anything though, it's a looooong way back to get anything.Les mer

  • Water like a mirror

    9. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    I wonder who missed the chance to name this lake "mirror lake" at least once a week the lake is so calm that virtually not a single ripple is visible.

  • Tsuniah Lake

    14. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    We had 4 days off so we decided for some fishing/canoeing/camping over a tsuniah lake. It just over the mountain but it takes almost 2 hours to drive there! It is worth it though, we cought over 20 fish in 12 hours of fishing and had many more bites! BC only allows a single garbled hook, so many got away. (Or I'm just bad...)Les mer

  • Work work work

    24. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    It's maintenance and repair and trapping mice all week long! At least tge weather us nice! The problem with log homes is that they need a lot of time and effort to stay beautiful. You don't want squirrels or packrats tacking over the place...
    Oh and you don't want to fall through the rotting decks.... so replace the planks before they rott!
    Les mer

  • Goodbye

    28. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We say goodbye to our New Zealand friends.
    May your travel will be filled with positive exitement and joy.
    See you in NZ!

  • Chilko Taseco Junction

    28. august 2019, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Blue is Gesines new favourite colour... can you blame her? The Taseko river is much whiter since the glacial lakes it feeds from are much more shallow, allowing the water to drag more glacier dust with it. The mixing of the two rivers is mesmerizing to watch!Les mer
