Mountain view at sunset (about 10pm)





We are right in the Rockies now! A couple of days ago we stayed at an 'overflow' campground, as all the other campgrounds were full (busy season). It ended up being great, because as it was so open it had a 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. The light lasted until about 11pm, so it was a top place to stop for the night.
We have had a few issues with the campervan. It needed two new front tyres which were close to exploding, and we've had a few coolant spills so we are having it checked out at a mechanics. When it gets the all clear we will be driving the 400km Icefields Parkway!We saw our first wild bear. Hurrah! S/he was grazing along the side of the road, thus our obscured picture. He did a little pounce at something in the moments we were there, quite cute indeed as he was a little fella. We also saw a mountain sheep.
We visited the Miette Hot Springs. They were hot, about 40 degrees, and it was very relaxing immersing ourselves. We even plunged into the cold plunge pools (Mel's record = 3 seconds).
