From Ko Samui, Thailand

Yes, I've gotten further behind again!!

But I'm here for 7 days, so there should be ample to time to update and get back into gear:-)

So the last couple of posts were from the rockies. What an amazing place. Every view was just so incredible, and even if we just drove through and didn't follow the tourist marks, we would've still seen so much. Alberta was beautiful.

We spent the first 2 nights in Banff and then had 2 in Jasper.

Monday we saw the Johnson Canyon... our only real walk. It was incredible. Usually you go to a waterfall to see 'a' waterfall. This place, the further we kept hiking, the more we saw, and I think there were a total of 7 on the track, and the last one came gushing out of a rock about 30 metre's up. It was thin, but long, and impressive.

It was our lucky day as when we went to pay for our gifts in the tourist shop, they had a game to play. If you pulled any card besides a joker or ace from the pack of cards you received 30%, but for the others you received the gifts for free. Cals pulled the 30% card, and then the lady was like, oh well, you're from Australia, I'll give you a 2nd try if you don't tell anyone and then I pulled the joker...that was quite a neat thing!!

We took the wrong road and decided to follow it and ended up at Lake louise a day early so stopped there and enjoyed a picnic lunch in front of the lake. I thought that it was going to be an overrated tourist destination, there were lots of people there, and a massive building behind it, but looking straight at the lake and the mountains behind was truely an amazing sight.

The girls went for a coffee while I went for the walk around the lake. So amazing the amount of different nationalities of people, all there to view God's amazing creation. The lake was so serene, and I was the tourist. I took loads of photo's. Not that I'll ever forgot what it looked like!!!

Then we were on to Morraine lake for the sunset. The lake had 10 mountains rising around it which made it another spot for photo's. I think I overdid the stops for photo's, but who knows when I'll ever make it back there!!

And then it was the drive back, through more mountains, and into town for a fun chinese dinner, a game of mose, and we were sleeping on our feet!!!
