We got up at 8:30am today, showered and had a quick call with family then set off for Edmonton! I drove the first half, then we pulled into a side road and Jacob drove the last half, so he could take over on the busy city areas. The drive was good - it took about 3hours and it wasn't the best scenery but it was still interesting in places. We passed a huge bison park which had huge wooden ranch style swing gates at the entrance which were cool. We also saw some...

Hello! I can't believe it's June already. I haven't written a blog in a long while as the internet is rubbish here, so I gave up in attemping. But it's not so bad today so thought I'd give it a go! We've had a busy week at work towards the end of May but then it was also quiet at times. On 27th May we finished work early and drove to Jasper, where we caught an 'old school' bus (not literally a school bus.. just retro) to the Athabasca river. We went wit...

Evening! I haven't written for a while as work has been super busy and I've been feeling very tired after each shift. I don't have anything to update you on really, but thought I'd just quickly post a short blog to let you all know that things are still good here. Canadians celebrated Victoria day this weekend, and had a long weekend, so pretty much all of the cabins were booked out, which meant a super busy time for us. We worked two hours overtime yesterday ...

Today we got up to attempt a phonecall with our new phone card from the phone box here. It wasn't successful so we drove to Hinton and had a very noisy Skype session with the family. We had to sit in the kids section as the main restaurant was too busy, and a load of children came in to use the play area, so we decided to cut the Skype session short. We drove back to our house after to grab a few things then headed to Jasper. It was very hot today - beautiful w...

Today we had a nice lie in until 9am and drove to Jasper with Cornelia and Lindsay (two housemates). We helped Lindsay with her luggage as she had to check it in for her bus trip home and then Jacob and I went to lunch at Famoso's, which is a pizzeria. I had hawaiian and Jacob had a marinara pizza which were both good. I also got treated to a strawberry and rhubarb 'sorbette' after and Jacob had salted caramel icecream! Yum. After a lovely lunch out, we droppe...
