BC trip day #2

The next morning it was still a bit cloudy. Now, time for (my) camping breakfast (scrambled eggs, beacon and sausage) mmmmh yummy ! :) I learned a lot about putting up a tent, camp cooking and take down a tent. So much fun ! On the road again and heading toward BC. Our route brought us through Banff National Park. It looks almost like Jasper Nat. Park. Bush, mountains and rivers. Awesome !! Next stop `Saskatchewan river crossing`a tourist town with a fancy hotel, gas station and a big gift store. Let`s check out the gift store ! I love to snoop around in gift stores ;D Lots to see and to smile about. And of course it`s pretty pricey. I was looking out for wildlife like bears or moose... and really we spotted a black bear on the one side of the mountain.. just walking along, mind his business, no eyes for all the tourists taking pictures of him. Since my camera is a bit slow when it comes to moving objects, I got a picuture of a nice round bear bum :D And of course I heard some interesting comments on that ;D (we had so much fun with it). Of course we had to stop at the famous Lake Louise (picture) and Lake Moraine. Both beautiful places with tons of tourists... it was just crawling !! We took pictures and went on again. Away from all the thousands of tourists. On our way to Fairmont we saw this black bear with something small beside it.... Oh a baby bear ! Let`s turn around and have a look ! Sure a Mrs black bear and her 3 (!) cubs ! Sooooo cute ! We were sitting in the truck and took pictures after pictures. They were eating dandy lion flowers, just munched away... The next wildlife viewing was in Radium BC, Bighorn sheep rams in the ditch. Off we go to our final destination for today, the Fairmont hot springs (picture, view from hot springs). They were really hot ! Well, the one pool was. We had so much fun splashing at each other :D Long time ago since i did that last... BC had better weather then Alberta. Sunshine and nice warm air. We were all tired and hungry after the long swimming... so we were looking for a camp ground. The one we found was way back in the mountains, a nice quiet spot on a little lake (Moose Lake).
