Dear Mum and Dad, Thank you so much for allowing me to go on this journey! It has been a wonderful trip so far, and I am loving Canada!
We started in Vancouver, where we went shopping for gifts and then went hiking. Unfortunately, it rained the first day we were there, but then it became clear after that. Then we took a train to Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, and then a coach through the Rockies to Jasper. The scenery was spectacular — massive forests and mountains, beautiful blue lakes, and all kinds of animals. We even saw a grizzly bear! From there, we took a long-distance train to Toronto. We were amazed by how empty and wide the Canadian Prairie was. It just stretched on and on, as far as the eye could see.
