Ok now I finally have free internet so I can actually put up some pictures.

Here is a picture of the pretty mountain looking down the main street of Banff

Here is the half frozen Bow river that rins through Banff.

Me and Tamare from Slavenia thought we would go for a hike up to Lake Minnewanka. After 3 hours of wandering around wonder where the lake was we finally found it. It was the first frozen lake that I had seen so it was worth the walk, but I think I will catch a bus next time. Our walk was 5 1/2 hours in total, and we were both so exhausted afterwards.

Here are the girls that were in my room for the first week, Tamara from Slavenia, Emma from England, Me and Staph from Brisbane. Here we are on our way out to Mel's for $1.75 highball night.

I went dog sledding last monday, here is a picture of me standing on the sled. It was so awesome, all the dogs were Huskies and are soo cute. They let you drive the dog sled if you want to, it was such a great experience. I recomend that everyone do it if they ever get the chance!!!

Three of us went for a hike on saturday in the mountains, it was beautiful but so exhausting. the hills that we climbed were very steep, and the rivers were starting to melt. if you look closely in this picture looking down into the valley that we hiked through you can see some large mud formations, one of the guys thought he would be daring and climbed onto the top of one of these formations, which was a bit crazy.

Yesterday, Sunday, I went for a hike with Carly from England up to the top of Tunnel mountain, where you can see the town of Banff from the top. This walk wasn't as hard as the one yesterday as there is an actual path. It was so beautiful from the top.

All weekend the weather was beautiful, it got to about 18 degrees so it was t-shit weather, and today the ground is covered in snow again its crazy.

Ok lastly here is a picture of the people at the hostel out at Hoodoos last Thursday. It was $1 highball night so everyone was pretty happy.

For those interested to know, this week i started work at the Samesun hostel that i am staying at. they let you do a few hours a week work to stay for free in return, and its pretty easy work. I went for a job interview today and got a part time job in a little restaraunt up the road, so i start training there tomorrow morning, so im looking forward to that!!!
