The drive north goes through Kootney Nat Pk to Banff Nat Pk where the famous Lake Louise resides. On the way we got our first look at the Rockies up close (well, sort of) as L and Kath pose in front of 'em. Kath, however, preferred to photograph some bees on the flowers immediately behind the stone wall (2nd pic up). Another first is the 3rd pic - mountains with snow and ice still on 'em.At Lake Louise we first went up the gondola/chair lift where K&L posed with the valley of Lake Louise a bit clouded over as backdrop. I know, where's the lake? Next blog folks - by the way, all things Louise, and notably the lake, are named after Queen Vic's 6th child Louise Caroline Alberta. Since we left Kootney Nat Pk we passed from British Columbia into Alberta. Wonder who that province was named after? By this stage L & I had gotten used to being passengers while Kath drove on the right (wrong) side of the road and to the size of 'regular' in the 'to go' coffee cups.
Kath let her hair down for our accommodation that night... next blog! Love to all back in Oz - Den
