Having spent an extra day in calgary we had 5 days in which to make our way back to Vancouver. The stops came thick and fast starting with Yoho National Park. The word "Yoho" is a Cree Native American expression of 'Awe & Wonder' and after visiting the Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge and Takakkaw Falls you could see why they chose the word. Having made good time we pushed on and instead of doing a night stop in Golden (looked a bit uninspiring) we headed for Revelstoke. On route we passed through the Glacier National Park home to over 400 Glaciers, roughly covering one tenth of its 520 sq miles. That's a fact kids!! (I had to convert from Km's as well!!). On entering Revelstoke we passed a KOA campground sign and having had a good ... read more

Motorhome News from North America 11. 2nd May - 13th May 2006 Canada, Oh,Canada ‘Splendor Sine Oceasu’, British Columbia’s motto on its coat of arms, has much to live up to. ‘Beauty without End’ will be our yardstick through the next few weeks as we journey eastwards from Vancouver Island across the Strait of Georgia to Vancouver and on through the Rockies to Calgary. It might take us a while. BC is Big. It is big enough to fit California, Oregon - and Washington inside and still have room to spare! And, it is truly beautiful. Local car registration plates boast the message, ‘Beautiful British Columbia’. Vancouver Island forms BC’s southwestern barrier to the sea, a classic mix of snow-capped mountains, ocean and lakes - and trees; trees everywhere. There are said to be seven different ... read more

Still At Home The weather is finally getting warm, which is good, or i'd hop on a plane ASAP! I'm planning a trip for September of this year to Australia, New Zealand, and who knows where else. I'm travelling alone for the most part, so if i find a friend along the way (and it sounds like it's easy to do in oz) then maybe i'll head to thailand and some such places. But until then, I'll be saving the cash to get to oz in the first place, and visiting with my jealous friends who apparently can't take time out of their busy shedules to come with me... i'm sure they're going to regret that decision! ;) If you're reading this and are planning a trip to Oz as well, drop a note! I'm looking ... read more
