Canada

We think Canada is the most scenic country on the planet. In particular the Rocky Mountains.

Lake Louise and a Tea House Hike are spectacular,

Moraine Lake is spookily pretty with loads of hikes and

Emerald Lake is a good detour from Lake Louise.

Being Australian, Kangaroos, Emus and Koalas are what I consider to be normal wildlife sightings.  Being in Canada in Spring was so exciting for us, because we were subjected to a whole new range of wildlife photographic opportunities. This Jasper elk was grazing between Trans Canada Highway 16 and Talbot Lake on our return journey …

Canada is a land of stunning scenery, but a Canadian Rockies road trip from Banff to Jasper hits the ball right out of the proverbial park. Cool alpine villages, snow capped mountains over-looking pine filled slopes, impossibly iridescent lakes and the promise of the big five (deer, elk, moose, wolf and bear) around every corner, are just …

From Banff to Jasper, the Canadian Rockies are stunning at every turn. Towering mountains, multiple glaciers and a variety of blue/green lakes litter the landscape. The best way to personalise a Canadian Rockies trip is by swapping the tourist trail for a Moraine Lake Hike. Read our One Week Canadian Rockies Road Trip Itinerary here. …

When the sun shines, Lake Louise, the starting point of Alberta’s exciting Icefield Parkway, turns a stunning turquoise and at other times an alluring blue. Whatever the colour, in Spring and Summer adoring masses crowd her shores. After paying homage it’s time to admire Louise from afar by finding a Lake Louise Viewpoint and a …

The Lake Louise to Emerald Lake detour, might be a short 50 km drive off the Banff to Jasper merry-go-round, but it is a big-time opportunity to experience a spectacular lake landscape. I am a huge fan of the Canadian Rockies. When our Banff to Jasper Road Trip was over, I admit to shedding a …

It is easy to fall in love with the Canadian Rockies postcard town of Banff, with it’s cute buildings and Cascade mountain backdrop. Arriving in Banff via Kootenay National Park, where Grizzly Bears were visibly out of hibernation, had us pumped to begin our Banff to Jasper road trip.  But first we’d planned some easy …

Montreal is a fantastic city and the Plateau District was possibly my favourite part of Montreal.  OK, I will commit myself and say it was definitely my favourite.  It was an arty kind of place back in 2010 and I am sure it still is.  A little bit East Villagey (I am not sure Villagey …

Vancouver is fantastic when the rain goes away and the sun shines.  Time to go bike riding along the waterfront over to Stanley Park.   And remember to have a fantastic Friday.
