Grrr Bus tripsGrrr Bus tripsGrrr Bus trips

I hate busses... but we got to see some beautiful scenery :-)
So after an 18 hour bus trip from Anchorage back in to Canada.. 2 nights in a northern town called whitehorse... then a 36 hour bus trip down to Jasper... i was home- well back in the rockies anyhoo!!! Man it felt nice to see my mountains again! Looking through photos really shows me the beauty of this place and how lucky i've been to spend all this time here :-)

We spent 3 nights in Jasper (bout 3 hours north of Banff) And here we went to the Maligne Canyon and Lake.. Wow this was so pretty! Because of all the snow we got through winter the canyon was flowing fast and hard! It was cool to see it like this and not all frozen! And the lake was just awesome! It was nice to spend some time in Jasper as i hadnt seen it prior :-) Of course the weather wasnt all that good.. but we were lucky enough to get a fineish arvo to do some of what we wanted :-)

Driving back from the Canyon i saw my first black bear up close... she had 2 babies with her.. it was great- just watching

I hate busses... but we got to see some beautiful scenery :-)the most amazing sunset... wasnt captured very well... so use your imaginations :-)
from the car as they munched away on the grass and wildflowers!!! The babies were intrigued by us and mummy wasnt at all fazed! Its kinda scary how use to humans they become :-)

Another laundry run.. found mumsy and I drunk again... this time with to lads from Canmore (near Banff) as company! They were lovely... and Terry (he was 55) gave mumsy his number and said when we get to Banff that hed like to rake her out for dinner! hehehe GO MUMSY!!!!

After Jasper we did the drive that had blown my mind in winter from Jasper down to Banff!!! The weather wasnt as kind to us as it was to me in winter... but it was still an awesome drive.. and cool to see it with a lot less snow !!!!! And then here we are in Banff where it hasnt stopped rainging since we got here and all we've been able to see is cloudy mountaind and a movie cinema :-(... its really dissapointing that i couldnt show mumsy round better... but oh well :-) Oh yeah by the way Mum called Terry and they're going out for dinner tonight hehehe! And me
