A collegue and I went first on a hike, called saddleback trail, which took us all the way up above Lake Louise. We had a great view over the ski hill from Lake Louise and the wide expanding Rockie Mountains.
It also made me realise that my body really needs some more exercise :-) hopefully I'll get to that.
After the hike we drove to the famous Morain Lake, 10km away from Lake Louise. It's a skyblue lake surrounded by the mountains.
It looked so tempted to jump in and off course that's what we did. The swim lastet about 30 seconds and was literly breathtaking, freezing cold. It was a hot day anyway so it cooled us down for a while and after an hour our clothes dried already. Before we drove back to the Lodge we took the gondola up the ski hill and had again an amazing view.
All this probably sounds really laim if you just read it, but it's just undescribable.
My second day I first had to go into Banff (about an hour drive) to do some groceries. You really have to stock up because you can go shopping just once a week and you always have to pay to get there as well. So with food for about 150 dollars (it's a lot more expensive then in any other shop outside the Rockies) I hope to get around for a while.
It was another gorgeous day so we walked up to a lookout right above the Lodge. Luckely I found another victim to join me, because they don't recommend going alone on a walk.
Conclusion: astonishing views, beautiful lakes, wildlife and a sunburn :-) (my body really needs some more vitamins E, although eating carrots defenitely doesn't help either)
