Friends Meet up in Banff


It was great to meet up with other MBT friends in Banff.  The travellers on the Rocky Mountaineer arrived last night and met up with Jo and A who arrived the day before. 

It was great to catch up and share some arrival ales.  Just a couple of course as we are all in training - aren't we girls! 

Janelle P and Doc headed up to Sulphur Mountain to enjoy the hot springs and view of the beautiful mountains.  The rest of the crew headed off for dinner and ate when it turned dark - in this part of the world that makes it a very late dinner.  Of course we had to have a night cap before heading off. 

The Rocky Mountaineer crew are heading to Lake Louise via helicopter.  Jo and A are off to Calgary.

We will all meet again in Toronto - and will be meeting the remainder of our group there to then head off to Peterborough.  See you in Toronto everyone!

Rosalie, Snooze and Elaine - how much can a girl bear?


The boots were made for walking!


Snooze fixing the tab? Good on you buddy!

  3. Fabulous pictures again! You all look beautiful - yes, even Paul and Geoff. I guess you all took your bikinis (not Paul and Geoff hopefully!) and plunged into those hot springs? I'm with you, Bernie Butterfly - no pressure but.... Australia's hopes you know. We are off to Madkays this weekend - the weather here is divine so hope it stays that way.
    hugs and xxxx to you all
    Helen
