We're going on a ferry and apparently this ferry is The longest free ferry in North America, that's what I've heard from Kolby. We're in Where are my gloves? That's a good question. I think I lost my gloves somewhere Oh, I don't know No worries That was a pleasant ride and we're nearly there. I just have perfect weather today. So good.

We have to unscrew and maybe screw it from the Okay, well, you're just gonna flap And you're just gonna go Into the tank bag Because I need to record the route my roundabout route is recorded on the GPS So although I do not use it As a GPS because it's old A bit crappy But I record my route on it. Sorry That's okay, we'll fix you later We're getting closer to this mountain range, I think I think possibly That's Rockies already I think so, but don't quote me I'm a little bit I do. Yeah, as usual. I'm not sure what's going on We made it, we made it We're in Radium Today we're staying in a motel that's our motel so cute Isn't it chilly? So cute. Okay Let's check in And we're in Quick break and time to go to Hot Springs. Although it's 27 degrees Celsius. We gotta go. Oh my god It is so hot And I'm going to Hot Springs. This is just crazy But it needs to be done. I am absolutely obsessed with Hot Springs. So I have to see it even if it's hot So Hot Springs are just Three kilometers away from here We're going for a swim chilly Oh, wow That's a cool path I mean, oh like a canyon thing Wow, that's beautiful Huh Very scenic We're nearly there That's it Cold much because there are just too many people In the Hot Springs So it just didn't feel right. Oh the canyon again. I love it Um Yeah, I feel very relaxed. I tell you that I'll sleep well Until tomorrow Good morning And had a lovely day in BC I just left Radium And today I'm going To Kenmore To see lots of friends. I have heaps of friends in Kenmore So it's gonna be a very social couple of days but before that we have a few things I wanted to show you actually I did show you all of that last year When I first landed in Canada But Chillie wasn't included because she was still in a container from Africa But I'm just gonna do that route that I've done with Etineke and Bruce in a car last year So maybe not in so much detail, but at least we drive through it. So you see A few cool places today Banff is this way but before we go to Banff We're gonna Hengalui Go that way Uh to Lake Louise Yes, I've been to Lake Louise last year, but it's so beautiful. I have to take Chillie there and we are nearly At Lake Louise But this is yeah, yeah the only downside of this tourist attraction It's always packed People everywhere so many cars But that's okay we have to see it one more time Okay. Well, I think I see A little motorcycle parking just here on the left Yes, I think so well there's some bikes so maybe maybe I think I'm just gonna go And park there Yep, I'm just gonna do it Let's go Chillie Let's just do this How's that? Because you're an adventure bike you get to To stop on the dirt Back to Lake Louise This is kind of emotional, you know this area is where my Canadian journey started last summer And I went to the east and now I'm back to the west but yeah, and this is sort of like the start and the beginning and the end of my Canadian journey, so I just couldn't miss this place Lake Louise is so beautiful loads of people here But still I just have to come back and show it to you again That was so crowded It's time to go Chillie So many people at one place exhaust me somehow And we made it to Banff. There you go. That's the official sign Very crowded everyone wants to take a picture with it Right So we're just gonna do a little spin around town Quick stop because I did cover Banff thoroughly last year On YouTube, Tina could give me a ground tour But I just wanted to see what's going on and what has changed in the year time, you know that sort of stuff Yep What did I tell you? Loads of people. I don't know Chillie if we're ever gonna find parking here I'll just park here For maybe 15-20 minutes go for a little spin and then get out of here because it's just too many people here totally Okay, that was a very quick visit But Honestly, there's so many people and it's just so hot and I didn't want to leave Chillie unoccupied for too long And I did cover Banff last year. I did it properly All right, it's time to go to Kenmore I know today it's just like quick stop quick stop quick stop it is what it is this is This is what it is when you Exhausted and I tell you I am exhausted. I haven't had a proper break for a year So I am a little bit. I'm a little bit struggling And we still have one month left and so much to see And 30 kilometers later We have made it to Kenmore It's good to be back So i'm staying with Tinaka and Bruce For a couple of nights, but tomorrow we'll be meeting with a lot of people.
