My Cananadadian Vacation

Welcome to Part 1 of my vacation. Fun though it was, I don't think I could eat a whole one.

So without any further ado....

...we started off at 6am one cold dark damp monday morning.

"6am?" you say "Wow that's early. Are you serious?".
"Yes", I reply "6am. And I'm totally serious".

Actually, no. It was more like 7am, 6am is just stupid. Who seriously leaves the house at that time of the morning? You'd die or something.

Journey: Edmonton - Jasper - Lake Louise - Sicamous - Kelowna
Distance: 1100 kms
Elapsed Time: 13.5 hours
Conversation Choices:
a. Shirley (drivel)
b. the girls (absolute drivel)
c. Nick (utter drivel)
Note: And it's "drivel" not "dribble".

This is us starting off (note the bicycle, it figures later in the vacation)



This is the sprogs raring to go (5 mins later the 3 of them were snoring like pig-dogs)



This is where we had our lunch. Tara was in swimming, hence her absence from the pic.

This is where we did our business. It should be mentioned that when you're 500 miles from the nearest sewerage system, a flushing toilet is not an option. The flash photography really doesn't bring home that the drop from the enamel fixture to the 'collection area' is at least 20 feet. That's Canadian ingenuity for you. In some of the higher class resorts you actually shit into an Abyss. (important note: the message left in this latrine is NOT the work of any of the MY family)



This is me driving the car. Jeezuz I've got a big nose!



This is a very beautiful lake in Alberta. And yes, I really took this pic.

This is a reasonably okay lake in British Columbia.


This is us hitting the swimming pool at about 9pm. This picture was took using the camera timer as I was already pissed in the bar.


And this is our destination.


Tomorrow, you get to see me going topless!!!
