    Lake Louise

    30 de abril de 2018, Canadá ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C

    We met a Canadian Mountie Policeman this morning. Then on our coach to Bow River, and onto Sulphur Mountain for our gondola ride to the top. Last few days it’s been raining a little bit, but not bad enough to spoil our day. On our gondola ride we rode up into the clouds, what a fantastic view. There was a shop and restaurant on top. After that we went back into Banff for a few hours, and then we went on our way to Lake Louise. So beautiful, the lake is frozen still with some breaks in it. You can see a bit of blue water here and there. ❄️😘Leia mais

    Banff

    29 de abril de 2018, Canadá ⋅ ❄️ 0 °C

    We went into Banff this morning by courtesy car, but you have to catch the bus back to the hotel. Costs $1 if you are a senior. I went to the Xmas shop and bought a few decorations, there was just too much to look at, but a beautiful shop🌲! We then went and tried a ‘beaver tail’, you say what on earth is that? 😆 well it’s like a long thin pastry, shaped like a beaver tail, and you have a choice of 2 toppings, I had Nutella on one side and maple butter on the other, yum 😋 This afternoon we went on a little bus and did the Banff experience tour. It was really good. We saw a few animals and ice on the lakes. We drove up to the top of a mountain, what a view! Yes Jen, I’ve been using the camera, taken a few panoramic and night time pictures, as well in the day. Tonight we went to beautiful German restaurant for dinner. When we got back to the hotel, Lorraine and I went in the sulphur mineral pool for a little while. Tomorrow we’re going in the gondola up Sulphur Mountain. Love you all 😘Leia mais

    Banff

    28 de abril de 2018, Canadá ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    Arrived in Banff at 7.30pm. Banff is in Alberta, so there is an hour time difference between British Columbia where Vancouver is. Here’s a bit of trivia, Kamloops means the meeting of two rivers, north and south Thompson rivers meet in Kamloops. We crossed about 7 other rivers today. We had beautiful scenery, snow-topped mountains, and snow still on the ground. When we were closer to Banff some of the water still had ice on it. I saw a bear in the woods, they are starting to come out of hibernation now . I also saw a squirrel when we went for a walk into Banff. I saw the Xmas shop Jen, but it was closed. I’m going back in the morning. One of the workers on the train read out a poem about salmon, so he asked everyone to write a poem. I wrote one and I was the only one that did. I had to read it out loud to everyone. I got a salmon badge for my effort. Here’s a picture of it ( the salmon poem isn’t mine). Near the end of our train trip we had a ‘treat’ for afternoon tea, freshly made Anzac biscuits, yum! Miss you all, till tomorrow. 😘😘😘👋👋👋Leia mais

    Kamloops

    27 de abril de 2018, Canadá ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    Hi everyone! To the Rocky Mountaineer train this morning with the coach. The train leaves from Vancouver to Kamloops and ends in Banff. We got a little badge when we arrived at the station. There was a man playing the bagpipes and we also had the red carpet laid out for us. Inside the terminal someone came round with juice, their was also tea/coffee and other cold drinks. I was surprised to see a man playing the piano in there as well! We had plenty of food on the train, I even had 2 drinks of Baileys today, in the daytime, oops! (I know what you’re thinking). When we arrived at Kamloops we hopped on the bus to our hotel which was only round the corner, it was so hot, the bus driver didn’t put on the aircon. Lorraine and I decided to walk down to the train in the morning. So when we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by 3 mounted patrol men on horses, and as we walked in we were all given a glass of cold sparkling water. Later we went downtown for a walk and had dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Afterwards we went down to the park, which was nice. PS I forgot to tell you that my Paris scarf I had on my suitcase is gone, wasn’t on the bag when we arrived in Vancouver, I was so annoyed!Leia mais

    Vancouver

    26 de abril de 2018, Canadá ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Today we went on a city tour in a new coach. We all have labels of different animals to look out for during our trip. Lorraine and I are Wolverines. We stick the labels up above our seats and our tour guide changes it everyday for us to change seats, then everyone gets a chance to sit in the front of the bus. We went to Stanley Park and saw the totem poles, Chinatown, Gastown and Granville Island. We bought chocolate at ‘Rogers Chocolates’ and walked through the markets. We had a free afternoon so we went back to Capilano suspension bridge park and walked over the suspension bridge. It’s 137m long and 70m high. I wasn’t going to at first but with Lorraine’s encouragement I braved it (didn’t look down though). She had already gone over it once. There was also a cliff walk which I didn’t do, Lorraine was game enough to do it though (she’s also a bit scared of heights). After you walk over the bridge you can walk amongst the tree tops over 7 smaller suspension bridges, which I did. I was proud of myself afterwards. Tonight we went for a walk downtown to Gastown and had dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. The Gas Clock in Gastown lets off steam at 9 pm every night (in the day as well, but it’s better at 9 pm). Tomorrow we leave at 0630 to hop on our Rocky Mountaineer train, first stop is Kamloops. Looking forward to that!Leia mais

    Vancouver, Canada

    25 de abril de 2018, Canadá ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    A long 14 hour trip on the plane 😞 glad when we landed in Vancouver. Saw snow-capped mountains from the plane, beautiful! We walked around the city for a little while, they had tulips in big pots, and cherry blossom trees in bloom everywhere. It’s the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival this month. We took a quick free bus trip to Capilano where the suspension bridge park is. We didn’t go in today, but going back to see it tomorrow. We came back and had a rest before dinner, which was really nice (picture of dessert, there was another piece but I ate it ha ha). We also took a picture of the front of our hotel ‘Four Seasons Hotel’, and ‘downtown’ Vancouver with the snow-capped mountain in the distance.Leia mais
