Leaving!

I'm starting my roadtrip! First destination, the Walmart of Sudbury! (So exciting)
Walmart Sudbury

First night in the van at the Walmart of Sudbury, have been here last year too. Will get used quickly of sleeping in my van I think.
Pebble Beach - Marathon

Arrived, after again a day of driving, at a nice rest area where you can stay for the night, next to the water on a pebble beach overlooking Lake Superior.
Walmart - Winnipeg

After a far too long day and drive, arrived in Winnipeg, not planned. But my planned overnight stops didn't work out, so I kept driving. Hope this one is okay now.
Walmart - Swift Current

Drove through flat Manitoba and Saskatchewan, in the blistering heat. So I missed airco in the van today. Arrived in a small city I had never heard of before. Tomorrow I'm arriving in Calgary, andLeggi altro
Calgary - hostel

Finally had the chance to take a shower! Arrived in the youth hostel in Calgary. Planning on getting my bags ready for my camping trip tomorrow. Will be my first trip in Banff. And it will be someLeggi altro
Lake Louise - Banff National Park

I had to pass back at Lake Louise. It has been 4 years since I have been here. A lot less people here, probably all those international tourists that are missing. Which is a good thing. But they alsoLeggi altro
Taylor Lake - Banff National Park

What did we learn? Hiking is not the same as backpacking. And when you got no upper body strength, and are carrying a backpack the same weight as you, you are gonna feel miserable. Still proud I madeLeggi altro
O'Brian Lake - Banff National Park

Started a hike from my campground of last night to a nearby lake. Left my backpack at my tent. So much easier. Was a nice but muddy hike, and as it is still quite early, I was all alone on the hike.Leggi altro
Radium Hot Springs

Stocking up on some food and drinks for the next 2 nights. Sleeping in a campground in Kootenay National park. Won't me doing much but relaxing and as I will have a big backpacking hike again onLeggi altro
McLeod's Meadows - Kootenay Nat. Park

My campground for the next 2 nights. Is nice and quiet. Made some nice dinner, even when I cursed the firewood as it was still wet, or maybe too fresh. I also decided to move my next backpacking hikeLeggi altro
Dog Lake - Kootenay National Park

Went for a small hike this time. My legs are still sore. But cannot just sit still in these wonderful park.
Hostel Golden

Another rare shower moment. Probably also doing some laundry and then just relaxing and uploading the pictures I had took in the past days. And then looking for a local bar :)
Emerald Lake - Yoho National Park

A gorgeous lake! Enjoyed the walk around it and seeing the different mountains from each side. Staying in a lodge here would be amazing.
Moraine Lake - Banff National Park

2 beautiful lakes in one day, I'm lucky. Also got lucky that the parking lot was open this time to get to Moraine as it was closed a couple of days ago.
Kicking Horse Campground - Yoho Nat. P.

My sleeping spot for the night. A nice camping ground between the mountains and next to the river. Making the usual vegetables on the grill. This time with some chicken! Oh yeah, I'm in love with myLeggi altro
Laughing Falls Campground - Yoho Nat.P.

Today was my second backpacking trip. This time the hike to the campground was not that far and mostly flat. So I had the chance to setup the tent and leave my sleeping gear before continuing theLeggi altro
Takakkaw Falls - Yoho National Park

Packed up my tent early (after my coffee) and took the hike back to the parking spot. Dropped my gear and went to have a look at the Takakkaw Falls.
Kelowna

Arrived at the fancy lake town of Kelowna. Was a long but scenic drive here from the Rockies. Staying here for 2 nights. Will go to a beach somewhere tomorrow. But first some beers tonight.
Hostel Vancouver Jericho Beach

Good to be back in Vancouver. Feels a bit weird walking around here again. The city where my Canadian adventure began 4 years ago. Will probably stay here for 4 nights.
Stanley Park - Vancouver

Did the big tour around Stanley Park. Nice long walk next to the ocean.
33 Acres Micro Brewery - Vancouver

My favorite microbrewery in Vancouver (maybe even Canada). A good start for my tour around the microbreweries within Vancouver.
Whistler Lodge Hostel

Staying 2 nights at a nice hostel in Whistler. The town was nice, but 80 dollars to get up the mountain is a bit too much for me. Will see what else I can do tomorrow.
Crystal Lake Recreation Site

After a good time at the hostel in Whistler, I'm now at a small free campground in the middle of nowhere. Really nice actually. Maybe will stay here 2 nights.
