Banff attracts weird people. Paul told me that. I gather he should know after living here for 30 years. There is me, obviously, and Tom, and Betty with her rat of a dog Sam (she herself calls it Rat), the guy who stares at Pokies belly, and a raft of others. And the raft of others all want to work at our store. Jason was fired a while back, so Management put up the help wanted sign. A woman walked into the store and stood there looking at me without saying a word. I was putting away the lader, so I [View Full Entry]

Two months since my last blog, and I am still a little short on subject matter. Things have been fairly consistent for the last 2 months - consistently cold, consistently working, and consistently unsure as to where I'm going next. So points to mention, although some seem so long ago, are: Jorge and Mandy visited Banff on their Honeymoon. Sarah and I took them on a little tour around Banff, up to Lake Louise via the back road, up the Gondola to see the view and have coffee in the highest restaurant in Canada, and polished the day off soaking in [View Full Entry]

Espanol abajo...quizas....... There's no real point to this blog other than to show you some photos from October. As I predicted in my last blog that all I'd be doing is working and climbing mountains, this is sadly all I have done. I can't fit the photos from work in this blog entry so I'll do another blog for them soon. Travelblog now cuts any photos over a 21 limit and shoves them onto another page, which I think really bites. So I am going to have to do more, but smaller, blogs. This blog will cover the 'climbing mountains' part [View Full Entry]

Espanol malo abajo...................... Banff is what it is. You can't knock it because it started that way and has never been anything different. And, as it knows it, it doesn't suffer that pretentiousness that prevades the air up in Jasper. Banff is a tourist town. It all started way back in 1883 when three prospectors stumbled on to a warm stream that led into a hole. One of them, William McCardell climbed down a ladder made from a tree trunk while that others waited up on top. Down in the hole he found at cave with a warm spring welling up, [View Full Entry]

Thereīs 3 million people in Buenos Aires. Now thatīs 3 million stories..and thereīs bound to be some good ones in all that. But sadly, this temporary inhabitant hasnīt got one of them.... In the city of Tango and passion, nothing of any interest has happened at all. Just a lot of walking, and not a lot else. So, I posted some photos I have taken during my walking... Buenos Aires, this is you as far as I know you.. [View Full Entry]

Now I diffently couldnīt leave Bolivia with running around in the Land of Butch Cassidy and good old Sundance. So I arrived in Tupiza with the plan to follow there last few fateful days. Tupiza is the site of the bank they intended to rob. Now it is just a sleepy little town with tourists going to the salar, or here for what I am. [View Full Entry]

Unfortunatley with this wedding in Chile in a few weeks I have run myself short of time. But I couldnīt leave Bolivia without seeing Sucre. Sucre is probably the prettiest city in Bolivia. I hear it is very much like Santa Cruz, but unfortunately I have had to give that a miss too. It is (the town centre anyway) is very colonial and still painted itīs orginal white. It is very tranqual after La Paz, and I am pleased I came up for the weekend. So I only have two days to see Sucre. And the stink thing is that one [View Full Entry]

Canīt afford to fly, so I took a bus for 17 hours up to Rurrenabaue. I bused up with Flota Vaca Diez. The seat I booked, no 28, window, was broken. It would not lock into place in any posistion, and would recline at every bump. Normally a broken seat is a bad thing, except on this trip it acted like a secondary shock absorber, and was just the ticket when bussing the worlds most dangerous road, which leads through to the worldīs most bumpy road. As a note, the worlds most dangerous road isnīt all that dangerous really. Sure, itīs [View Full Entry]
