Day 5 I think

Hi im back and today we were on the second to last day on the bus tour. We started at 9:45, the first stop was lake bow where we threw stones into the lake, but we only got ten minutes. The second stop was lake Peto which was in the bow valley so we couldn't get down to it we just stood on the top of an observation platform.

Then we went on the bus to the ice field. first we took a shuttle up to the dirt road where we got off and on to a big six wheel drive truck that took us up to athabasca glacier where we got to play on the ice and drink the glacier water, which was so cold I could not hold my hand in for more than 5 seconds. Our driver on the truck was a man called Masami, he was very funny and entertaining. He talked about ice walking and how you should always go with a friend that would risk his life for you. He said "and thats why i would not take my wife she would drop me into a crevice ."

After the ice field tour we went back to lake Louise to drop some people of at the hotel and on the way we saw a black bear and its 5 month old cub, it was the first wild bear ive ever seen and i was very excited. i got lots of cool pictures that I will either post on the blog or show you when I get back to school


Now we are in Banff, a little town sort of like Arrowtown or a little Wanaka.  The hotel we are staying at a harry potter castle (i wish).
I will see you tomorrow.
bye
