There's a She Wolf in the Closest First stop this morning (after the obligatory Tim's for a cuppa!) was at a wolf sanctuary. This proved to be really interesting as we got to learn about how different areas of both the US and Canada deal with animals it considers to be problems. The main aim of the sanctuary is to teach people about how import wolves are to society and not the big bad beast that they are often portrayed as in stories. There are currently 6 wolve...

We are Golden It was up early this morning to visit Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. Both of these are Glacier fed, very blue lakes in the Rockies, with Lake Louise being the more well known with a big hotel next to it.

After arriving at Whistler we got the chance to look around at the area which seemed like an upmarket ski reso...

I want to Ride my Bicycle Today was a bit like the first day of school - something you look forward to but dread at the same time- the first day of my tour around Canada. After meeting my roommate the previous day it was soon on the bus and the chance to meet everyone else, including out tour leader Sara. I needn't have worried everyone was great - our group consisted mainly of British females who seemed to share the same sense of humour as me and possibly even ...
