With a quick breakfast we travelled towards our first stop of the day the Banff gondola for some fantastic views and wildlife shots.
Doesn't our new kit look fab?
We all made it up alive!
We have gradually worked our way up from butterfly to chipmunk and today we saw some larger Canadian wildlife in the form of a suntanning Moose! While is wasn't quite a bear for Miss Jones we are definitely getting closer! Fingers crossed we will see one soon!
After our sky top adventure we travelled onto the Banff hot springs (40 degrees) to enjoy a well earned relax with georgeous views across the Banff mountain range.
The bus journey to Kelowna began with the traditional mad dash around safeway to gather the many supplies needed. With enough food to last the entire tour we headed on our way.
We had a lovely stop at a Canadian rainforest, enjoying the various plant life and critters and most importantly the flushing toilets!
Folllowed by a quick stop to learn about the various animals and history of the Canadian national parks. We even made some friends while we were there.
With some enthusiastic (if slightly out of tune) singing including Steps and Shania Twain from our X factor finalists the 6 hour journey flew by and we have arrived at the University of British Columbia ready for a well earned sleep in preparation for tomorrow's activities!
While we didn't find a bear today, look what we found Instead!
