So we've left Banff far behind us thanks to Hollie and Keeley and their trusty car Emma. We only had a few wrong turns before leaving the Bow Valley. The road between Banff and Jasper is with out a doubt the most picturesque road I've ever driven on. There was lake after beautiful lake and mountain after amazing mountain.

However I didn't think that our campervan would possibly feature in the World's Worst Driving T.V. show, or should that be called: Most Embarassing Driving Moment!! I'll now jump back a few days and resume from where we were staying in Jaspar. No peeking further down the page. Keep reading from here, otherwise you will be cursed (I've picked up a few things from the Natives!). Certainly the drive to Lake Margine from Jasper which also included Medicine Lake was spectacular. Fortunately the weather picked up and we got stunning views of huge grey slabs of rock along the highway. I just had to sit down alone on the grass overlooking Medicine Lake, mesmerised by the ... read more
