Craig & Jills Round the World Trip
From calgary we drove back to the Rockies driving through Yoho Nat Park. Here we stopped off at the amazing Emerald lake, this was so beautiful, esp with the reflection of the mountains on the water. Also saw the natural bridge, where rocks have formed a bridge across the blue glacier river. From Yoho we drove through Glacier Nat park, over 400 glaciers in this park, unfortuntely only 1 can be seen from the road, the rest require hours of hiking to reach them. We stayed in a quirky hotel in the middle of nat park at Rogers Pass, with 4 other guests. They had for some reason put us all in rooms next to each other even though it had over 100 rooms! Unforteuntely for us the japanese couple above decided to get up at 5am and walk round there room for the next 2 hours, so we were a little tired and grumpy that morning! So much so Jill went out and waved them off with some kind words as they left! We then headed back to Vancouver. The rockies had been amzing, it exceeded all our expectations, and we can def recommend a trip, we're sure you won't fail to be impressed. On route back to vancouver we spent 1 night in a nice place called kelowna. Obviuosly up and coming as lots of swnaky apartments been built on the lake shore in the centre. managed to get some tickets for the local ice hockey match, the kelowna rockets and we cheered them onto victory.Drove back to vancouver Thursday through thick fog and rain, a nice 5 hour drive. We only made a couple of stops, first at crazy creek suspension bridge, and at a local farm shop. here Craig finally got to have some fresh corn on cob, yummmy. We also fed the goats which had a party trick of pulling a rope to the top of a rasied paltform to get food out of the tin attached. Jill came close to taking the cute baby goat with them as it cried when we left. Passed a wacky house covered in hub caps amongst other bizarre sights on the road. We clocked up just short of 1900 miles on our Rockies trip, but it was worth it and luckily petrol is still half price to what we pay.
