So today started with an early rise and breakfast and our journey to Lake Louise. We stopped on the way to admire the view and then we drove to Lake Moraine the first of our lake stops today. The colours were pretty amazing and the scenery just as good. From here we walked to the too viewpoint where we took some more photos and then went and explored the lake and the gift shop further. Thankfully I didn't have my purse otherwise I would have spent a fortune on o...

It took us about an hour or so to reach the Rockies and we could see them in the...

So we drove to Drumheller stopping on the way to admire the Horseshoe Canyon. This didn't impres...

So after my really late night I had a bit of a lie in and then got up, caught up with home and then went for a walk around Calgary to buy some supplies. I had a little look around and stumbled across a mall which was totally empty and nothing like shopping at home. I looked at a couple of parks along the way and enjoyed looking at the different statues along the way. I then went and bought some lunch and had a fun-filled afternoon of washing, napping and genera...
