The bags are packed, although we are not sure whether we will be basking in late summer sunshine or be up to our knees in snow. Possibly a little bit of both. Layers is the answer.
The camera is packed, batteries charged, memory reformatted and lenses cleaned. They say that Canada is a bit like Scotland on steroids - well we'll see. I'll attach pictures to the blog as our Canadian adventure develops. In the meantime here are some pictures taken on my phone camera from yesterday's walk around Loch An Eilein. It was spectacular. Lake Louise had better be good.
You might think that we are taking the safe option after our India adventures but that remains to be seen. Grisley bears, Black bears, Killer whales and bad tempered Salmon (keep an eye open for this one) all await their opportunity to eat us - or at least deliver a nasty nibble. Zip lines, white water, high places and slippy pavements are all conspiring to give us a fright. Killer elephants, man eating tigers and Indian railways may well seem a bit tame after British Columbia.
We will be spending 3 weeks driving through the Rockies then a week in Vancouver followed by another week on Vancouver Island. Along the way we will meet up with Susan's cousin Donna and aunt Thelma - it has been too many years since we have seen them face to face.
When we return home the arrival of our second grandchild will be imminent. So much to look forward too!

David and Rosemary Looking forward to reliving our adventure, as wevisited the same area when back packing in 1983! Meanwhile, another grandchild to enjoy. Our son and wife have just produced their second while living in France but are over to visit in 2 weeks time. I'm still fighting Fibromyalgia so our holidays remain limited but we're off on another cruise from Cyprus to Oman and many places in between. Wish you both a great time with wonderful scenery and weather that will encompass everything imaginable! With very best wishes for a super time, David and Rosemary.
Hazel MacDonald You are in for a real treat! I look forward to seeing your photos and reading about your adventures. I'd invest in some bear spray for peace of mind if nothing else. Have a fantastic time! Hazel
Jacque Smith Hope the travel plans all go well. Looking forward to seeing the photos and reading about your adventures.
Sandra and Dave Bye you guys. Remember the bear spray. Von voyage.
Pamela Hutchison Have a great time in Canada. Loch an eilan looks like a micro version of Banff but without the grizzlies!!! I am sure there will be plenty of exciting adventures ahead.
