Canadian Rockies!!

Ok finally got down to posting my trip to the Rockies.. Still, i'm pretty lazy and so i shall let the pictures paint a million zillion words!! Haha... Note that u will probably get bored by the mountain photos after a while but it is so different when u are at the actual place!! Amazing how these mountain ranges are formed.. Remember i used to study about them in secondary school geography but didn't think the physical features of the earth's surface were that magnificent till i see them with my very own eyes... Wouldn't mind living in the mountains and far away from the buzz of the city though i know i'll probably get bored pretty quickly.. =P

Enjoy the photos galore!!

Arriving at Canada Place, pick-up point for our coach..

Arriving at the first restaurant, korean cuisine!!
Food wasn't that great though...

Getting ready to dig in!!

Random pics along the way..

Trying to look cool i guess..

Arriving at the Last Spike..
This was the place where some guy drove in the last spike for the
first railway that cuts across Canada...

What's the purpose of this water cooler??

Spot the heart-shaped snow patch?

Rather nice effect eh?

Arriving at this posh hotel called Fairmont Hotel at Lake Louise.. Love the decor inside!!

This is the view u get from inside the hotel!! Lake Louise is
frozen which means skating on frozen lake for us!!

Lots of beautiful ice sculptures on the way to the frozen lake, simply breathtaking..

Mini ice castle on the frozen lake

Horse sleigh! Smelly though -lol-

No!! Dun propose to her!! What about me?!

Posers..

This is specially taken for my dearest!! Hope u like it! =)

Skating on frozen lake!! The ice is rather uneven though..

Beautiful hotel, bet it must have cost a bomb to stay here..

Some kind of snow ploughing machine..

Grp pic..

Photo of the sun.. nice?

Arriving at the second restaurant.. Western food!
Had a well done beef steak wth... tough like stone... Grr...

Arriving at the gondola station to go up to the peak of Sulphur Mountain!

Weather for that day..

Up, up we go..

Magnificent, isn't it?

Can't imagine what will happen if i fell backwards and rolled down...

One of the lakes, think this is called Bow Lake..

The mini waterfall was supposed to look like it is flowing into our hands..
Know it's lame but it's Zhenni's idea..

Arriving at one of the towns.. Was given time to shop but nothing much to shop,
not to mention the expensive prices..

I like this restaurant!! But too bad didn't have a chance to dine here.. Wasted!!

Korean food again... But at least this was better than the previous one..

Random pics of the hotel we stayed in..

Buffet breakfast!! I simply love buffet breakfast western style!!
Omelettes, hams, bacons, sunny side-ups and lots more!! Yummy!!

Walking back to our rooms.. Feeling sleepy early in the morning
due to heavy breakfast haha..

Mini frozen lake..

Taken at the back of our room..

That's our Korean tour guide in the lime green vest..

The entire tour took 4 days 3 nights and i would say it was rather value for money looking at the meals provided plus the better than expected accomodation.. The weather was supposed to be freezing cold but we were fortunate enough to have the sun shining brightly in the cloudless sky, so we didn't feel that cold in the end.. At the end of the day, good trip if not for a stupid mistake of mine, but i'm just glad and thankful that i managed to recover what i lost.. Phew...
