We woke up at 8 to decide what our plan was for the day we planned to have a look at the Lake Louise and the infamous photo spot and then go white water rafting! Such fun ;)
The last time we did that was in California and we both thoroughly enjoyed that.
Sadly the weather wasn't great: Rainy, cold, windy and cloudy… :/
But still, we trudged along the road to Lake Louise. We got out of the car, 5 degrees, and I decided to put on my luckily brought beanie! Mum was left wishing for hats and gloves. Anyway, after taking the essential tourist shot and one wiv us innit, we made our way around the lake.By this time the hail started falling so everyone went inside the nearby, overly-posh-but-not-beautiful, 'Fairmont Chateau' hotel. They had a beautiful store inside with all kinds of precious stones and even eagles carved out of antlers.
Because of the terrible weather it was not very busy, yay! So really, it worked in our favour!
It started to clear up as we started on our way back round the lake so we managed to get some good shots.
{A quick insight that mum wanted to point out: The petrol is only 123 cents a litre! It was only £25 to fill up :O Whereas back home it would be £100... That was a nice surprise.}
Later on in the day and it was time for our White Water Rafting! It was awesome.
We did the 'Whitewater Exciter' which, in rafting terms, was between a class II - IV
We didn't manage to get any pictures in fear of getting one of the cameras wet and also the photos that they offered were incredibly expensive so no photos to laugh yourself funny over...
And to top it all off, when we were driving back from the rafting experience all soggy we saw a double rainbow! xD It passed from one side of the road, a hilly area to the other. This means that we drove underneath one and also saw the end of it. Now, let me tell you, there was no pot of gold at the end however, the ground particles did have a very golden tinge. Maybe that's what they've been confused about...
