West Louise Lodge

I've made a picture of the Lodge where I'm working and living, so you can have an idea how it looks like. It's already quiet old, so it doesn't look that fabulous, but I guess it's one of the cheapest places where you can stay here in the neighbourhood and with a car accesable to all the good spots. If you click on this title you'll get a link to the Lake Louise area.

Along the transcanadian Highway, there's also the traintracks that crosses the Rockie Mountains. It's pretty amazing to see huge trains passing by at a very slow paste, because of the bears that might be on the track. They told me that there's a lookout where you can see the train going into a tunnel to cross the mountain and when the first wagon comes out of the tunnel you can still see the back end of the train entering the mountain.

I added another picture of the view you have of the lookout behind our Lodge, it's a good hour climb, but defenitely worth it.

Another picture on a walk along the train tracks with some girls from work, 2 Australian and one Canadian and with a beer spray! The girl on the right is my housekeeping partner :-)

And to keep the staff happy out here the managers organise some party's with free food and free beer. Like this monday we had a barbecue and pool party. The Lodge actually has a pool, but because it's not cleaned yet the guest can't use it, so a private party in the pool isn't a problem :-) After a nice dinner, a homemade malteser icecream slice, a swim in the pool with blow up boots and a volleyball, a sauna, we ended up with a dive in Wapta Lake outside our door. It's glacier water but still wasn't that cold at last time, good refreshment.
