Banff National Park

Oma most likely brought the rain from Holland, it was pouring down for hours on the way to Banff national park.
Late that day it cleared up and for the largest part of the week the weather stayed nice.


The animals came out again...

Lake Louise is beautiful. But VERY touristy...

The whole park has stunning views. Here an extremely blue lake, which we reached after a short walk.

Finally we were got to know who-is-who. The majority of the animals we see are the squirrels and co.

Between Banff and Jasper are the Columbia Icefields. Apparently the WHOLE population of North America would fit on this massive gletcher.

No matter the tremendous amount of tourists, we stopped and explored the visitor center to check out the icefield exhibit.

Robin's campfire in the national park burns nicely.

Normally every site is very spacious, has a firepit and a table with benches. Maybe there are not many conveniences for Western standards... no electricity, no internet, no flushing toilet, but nature pure, a fantastic night sky and so to say: pure luxury without these "conveniences".
