(Sophie) - We are now in Jasper, which is a small town in the Canadian Rockies. There are loads of shops and loads of trains. I counted one train that had 227 carriages! Most of the trains are freight trains however I did see the Rocky Mountaineer train which carries people. This morning we woke up to our first wet day, but it didn't matter as we were going water rafting any way and were bound to get wet.We were taken about 20 minutes out of the town to the At...

He drove us along the river and guess what we saw? A big black bear and a little baby bear cub!

We had breakfast here next to a large stone statue called an Inukshuk, which is lots of rocks shaped into a human. These statues w...

(Belle) - This morning we went zip-trekking. This is going on a zip wire between mountains in Whistler from tall trees over a canyon - great fun!We had to wear a harness and a helmet. There were five wires we had to zip down. On two of the them (the long ones) I had to go with a guide because I was too light and may have got stuck in the middle. My guide was called Jenna and it was good to zip down with her.On the last wire I let go of the rope and just hung wit...
