Lisa's Canadian adventure
Hey guys, sorry its been a while since my last entry but I've been on the road quite alot and in the wilderness!!!! Took us two long days in the van to reach Banf and the rockies but it was well worth the sore legs and tiredness!!! The rockies are amazing, it's so hard to describe some of the sights I've been seeing, such as Bow Lake, Lake Louise, and Emarald Lake, they're breathtaking!!! Will post some pictures soon. Stayed in a hostel on Friday night which was a wooden hut in the middle of the woods (see what you mean Caroline!!). We were in bear territory and there had been a bear in camp just before we arrived, so it was a bit scary. The camp had no running water and drop hole toilets which were eh lovely!!! It was cool staying out in the wilderness, didnt think I would like it but it was fun (apart from trying to find our hut in the dark, scared that we were going to bump into a bear!!). We had a lovely dinner cooked by our Moose guide and played daft games all night. From there we headed to Banf, and went out for dinner and to the clubs!! Another drunken night was had!!
I walked on a Glacier the other day, which was huge and treked up a mounatin (again!) where we sat and had lunch overlooking some amazing views, which was worth the hike I have to admit, but this is no holiday, its hard work!!! I'm sleep deprived at the moment, getting by on 5/6 hours a night, but its all good, I will just need a good rest when I get to Edmonton (cant belive I've still got Toronto and Edmonton to look forward to!!).
We're in a little town called Revelstoke at the moment. It's really hot here so took some chill out time today and sunbathed for a bit. We're heading to Kelwona tomorrow and going go karting in the morning so excited about that (I'm a bit of a boy racer!!).
The tour will finish on Tuesday in Vancouver, which is going to be sad, cause I've met some really nice people and its gonna be hard saying goodbye, but I've already arranged to visit them, so its not all bad, I've got long weekends away to look forward to!! Fly out to Toronto on Wednesday where I'm going to visit the CN Tower and Niagra falls and stroll about town!!! Cant wait to see Ross, we're gonna have a blast, fly there on Saturday, so its all go at my end!!!
Having a blast, seeing lots of amazing things and meeting lots of different and interesting people. Got the travel bug now!! Getting used to living out a rucksack and sharing a room with 10 other people, getting up really early, hiking up mounatins and partying really hard ( got to keep the Scotland side up!)
Thats fab about the tickets Lynne, cant wait, we've also got James Morrison soon aswell 'awesome"!! I'll bring you back a Canadian, there's plenty here that you would like!!!
Was nice to chat to you the other day Kaz, miss you loads, we'll have to have a good night out when I get back!!
I've never laughed so much in my life before I came on this trip, so glad I did it, you dont know what your missing (pancakes every morning for breakfast!!).
Anyway, going to go back and join the others for dinner and beers, hope your all well and working hard, update you again soon. LUL
