Caught the bus at 9.45am. The bus driver was the one who brought us from Banff to Lake Louise and he remembered us! The journey was about 12 hours including the time difference. It went quite fast and was very empty compared to the others we had been on. The scenary was much better than previously, we drove through mountainous areas most of the way. Made a nice change from Manitoba and Sastatchewan and we both liked how natural it was. There were rivers flowing d...

Had a much needed lay in as we were both shattered! Have ahd a busy few days in Banff - very active ones! We mooched about the lodge a bit before going into the village to collect our bus tickets for tomorrow to Vancouver. We wanted to go to Moraine Lake but the only way was to hitch hike or pay silly money for a taxi! or walk for 3hours each way! We had been told by many people that it is afe and very common - especially to this lake. After yesterdays experience...

Today was the first day that we had to get up early as we had to catch the bus to Lake Louise at 9am. It was a struggle but the McD's Coffee and muffin definitely helped! The walk to the depot was chilly but didn't seem too bad however once at the depot it seemed to drop in temperature considerably and ended up changing! The bus to Lake Louise was only 45mins and the views continued to be impressive! By the time we got to Lake Louise there was a definite chill in...

Had breakie at the hostel - bit of a regular occurance but its so yummy and fills us up!We decided that today was the day that we tackled the big mountain - Mount Sulphur! I was a little unsure as i was really aching still from the bike ride, climbing tunnel mountain and horse riding yet when we got to the base of the mountain it seemed lazy to go up in the gondola and it is so much more rewarding when you've hiked it! So off we set! First part was tough but once...

First thing, we enquired about wildlife tours in the hope that we would see moose and bears but unfortunately not! May get to see a grizzly bear in Lake Louise but no moose! We then made our way along a trail to Vermillion Lakes. Was a nice walk there - shame about the weather though - a bit overcast again. The lakes themselves were not as we'd hoped so didn't spend long there. We followed the trail along the river back into town. We have changed our plans again ...
