Thursday, my last morning in Canada! All that remained of my holiday was to drive to the harbour, wait, take the ferry to Vancouver, get across the town to the airport, wait, board the flight to Heathrow, wait, transfer to the Arlanda plane, wait, take the train to Hudiksvall, wait, switch to the Ljusdal bus,…

Time to begin the journey home and drive across the island to our last overnight stop at Nanaimo. But I’d rather go out with a bang, so I got another chance to photograph some aquatic life at Pacific Rim, and then to top it all off, we had a lucky encounter with an otter at…

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve – that’s our primary Vancouver Island destination. We were both eager to see the coastal rain forest, so that was our first stop of the day. There are just short and easy hikes here and they don’t get much easier than the Rain Forest trail, but photography is just that…

Vancouver Island is a great place if you want to do whale watching, so we drove to Telegraph Cove in the northern Vancouver Island to catch a tour. It had been a foggy morning and we were a bit worried that we would lose all the whales in the fog, but as our departure got…

We had an early wake-up call (4:00) to catch the ferry from Bella Coola to Port Hardy on the Vancouver Island. After a few hours of sailing, the captain came on the speakers and announced that he had probably taken the right turn from Bella Coola and he thinks he now knows where we are.…

After Grey Wells yesterday, the scenery started changing from the mountaineous to the hilly and it kept that way after Williams Lake as well. We did start seeing some great autumn colours though and it was a calm day so colours reflected nicely on the roadside lakes. Then inevitably we came to what the locals…

Of course, the morning we have to leave Jasper is the morning that is sunny. But can’t help it… At least we saw some nice morning scenery on the way, and even spotted some moose – they are the bigger cousins of the moose we have at home, so it was special. Mt Robson was…

Jasper is really getting washed out. Yet another rainy morning, so we used it for treating ourselves to a pancake and maple syrup breakfast. It was good. Then we did a short hike at Cottonwood Slough, tried a few photos but it was forced. Now it was just a matter of killing time until lunch,…

It has to be that I always have bad weather when I’m in Jasper… I think it was overcast, drizzly and cold here when I was here back then. We checked out the Cavell Lake but of course there wasn’t any glorious morning light to speak of. So we drove to Maligne Lake and now…

Time to move on to Jasper, via Icefields Parkway. I had high exceptations and I guess that it was my downfall – the weather didn’t co-operate 100% so I just felt let down and only took a handful of pictures, mostly at Peyto Lake.We checked in at the Mount Edith Cavell wilderness hostel at dusk,…
