Canada

Well what can I say...... Canada definitely is one of those destinations you just have to keep returning to in order to see everything!

We were lucky enough to go here, as it was my cousin's wedding, he lives in Banff and owns Banff Tours which was very handy indeed and meant we got to see a lot more than we would have going on our own.

We were there for 10 nights, and did everything from cable cars up mountainsides, to a Glacier Walk at Scechazuan River. The wedding was in Kicking Horse resort, an up and coming ski destination, and took place at the top of a mountain with the bride arriving by helicopter!!! It doesn't get much better and was utterly magical.

The scenery you see whilst here is actually quite hard to take in, it is so breathtaking. The lakes are just so clear and beautiful, the roads are just so quiet and a pleasure to drive along whilst taking in all the scenery surrounding them.

Banff is just perfect, as although it's a popular destination, it hasn't lost any of it's charm and is still very 'olde worlde' in many ways. there are lovely walks long the river and lots of wildlife spotting at every turn.

Be as busy or as relaxed as you want to be in this destination but make it a must to go!!
