(Belle) - We moved on from Clearwater and headed to Jasper today. We stopped in Blue River and went on a River Safari trip. Our guide was Digger and he was very nice and very interesting. He drove us along the river and guess what we saw? A big black bear and a little baby bear cub! The mummy bear was looking for berries along the shore and we were watching her, which was extremley exciting, and then the baby bear popped out of the bushes, which was even more exciting. The baby bear couldn't climb the bank properly and kept slipping back down, it was very cute.
(Sophie) - We left Clearwater and starting heading towards Jasper. On the way we went on a River Safari trip and saw a mummy black bear and an adorable little bear cub. We followed them along the shore for ages with the guide, Digger, rowing us at the front of the boat instead of using the engine so he didn't scare the bears away. I am so happy to have seen the bears, it was the main animal I wanted to see on this holiday. We have also seen deer, elk, and rabbits.
After this trip we carried on to Jasper, which is in Alberta. So we said goodbye to British Columbia, Strangely, Alberta is 1 hour ahead of British Columbia even though it is still in Canada, so we didnt arrive until quite late and checked into our hotel. Our hotel room has the biggest beds I have even seen. Belle and I are sharing one and I can't even see her! I have to swim through the covers to get to her. Talking of swimming we tested the swimming pool before bed and also the hot tubs.
