I’ve been so busy since returning from our amazing holiday. Here is a snapshot…

Vancouver, we loved it hereRocky Mountaineer Rail Journey, AMAZING!Banff, fantastic and pristine

Fairmont Banff Springs, where we stayed and taken from the gondola

…and from the opposite direction as we took to the river on a raft.

Some of the wildlife, so cute!

Lake Louise at dawn

Lake Louise later in the day. Hired a canoe and had a fantastic afternoon on the lake.

Jasper, so pretty.

We took a walk on the Athabasca Glacier at minus 10 and it was fabulous

Whistler from high up on Whistler Mtn

We rode the The Peak to Peak Gondola

Butchart Garden, Victoria BC was beautiful

Victoria BC, capital of Canada

Our ship MS Volendam docked at Skagway

Inside passage, Alaska. Breathtaking, a very “ Titanic” feeling floating amongst the icebergs.

And on our return……
