More from Suzanne's two favorite lakes - Lake Louise and Moraine Lake:

"Lake Louise was named after the 4th daughter of Queen Victoria. The first chalet was built on the shores of the lake in 1890, but the first visitors probably arrived at 10,000 years prior. This is one of the most photogenic lakes I have visited. Moraine Lake is 6100 feet above sea level (510 feet higher than Lake Louise). This was my second favorite lake. Once again, the scenery was spectacular - perfect for a wedding."

Yesterday's post outlined what can sometimes happen to "best laid plans" - and how the companies we do business with handle them professionally! Here are a few of Suzanne's favorite images from the lakes and mountains of the Canadian Rockies. It is IMPOSSIBLE to do them justice...WOW!

As many of you know, recent wildfires have engulfed Jasper National Park and the province of Alberta - a bucket list destination for many on Suzanne's recent group journey through the Canadian Rockies. Stay tuned this week for images from a revised itinerary...but here is a quick outline on the happenings, in Suzanne's words...

"As you know 3 days before our tour was to start, a massive wildfire consumed part of Jasper, British Columbia. Within 48 hours Globus had rerouted our tour, found accommodations for a bus load of tourists and fill our days with new and exciting adventures. At least two of our excursions were the first time that any Globus guest had experienced him. We told our guide that they were “keepers”.

We were very fortunate that Brad, our tour Director, grew up in the area and knew our new route like the back of his hand. We would be driving along, and he would recount personal stories of childhood experiences.

Below is a map of the area we covered. We all felt that we saw so much, but in the grand scheme of Western Canada, we saw so little."

One final post from lovely Victoria! From tea at the famous 1908-built Fairmont Empress hotel to the VERY active harbour featuring kayaks, ferries, and even airplanes (more on that in our next post later today!) to the colorful houseboats, Victoria was a fantastic visit - and our hotel was directly on the water.

The most popular attraction on Vancouver Island is the award-winning Butchart Gardens! Check out some of these fantastic images from Suzanne and the group's visit...and these thoughts:

"The beautiful flowers from Butchart Gardens in Victoria. The upkeep of these gardens takes 85 full-time gardeners. Because the temperature is so moderate, they have almost a year-round growing season."

A journey from Vancouver to Victoria, from Suzanne POV:

"Part of today’s adventure is taking the ferry between the city of Vancouver and Vancouver Island and it's historic city, Victoria! This 90-minute ferry has a capacity of 2000 passengers and 600 vehicles. 600 vehicles divided by motorcoachs like ours, campers, pickup trucks and sedans. We were very lucky, the seas were as calm as could be. Unfortunately, we did not see any whales or eagles. But I did enjoy my Pirate's Kids meal onboard." 😁 🏴‍☠️
