      <title>Our Trip to the Sunshine Coast</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am an employee at Go West and got my chance to take an RV for the first time. My husband and I were completely RV virgins, so this was a great adventure for us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The trip started with sunshine, which is very unusual for the May long weekend. Our RV was prepped and waiting for us to unload. We took the short trip to Horseshoe Bay and hopped aboard. The trip over was spectacular! The panoramic view was incredible!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Our Trip to Vancouver Island</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;1. Monat 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gestartet wird, wie üblich, mit der Übernahme des Motorhomes bei Go&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;West in Coquitlam. Nach Abschluss der Versicherung kann's los gehen,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;da die Crew von Go West unser Fahrzeug bestens vorbereitet hat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Die 1. Nacht verbringen wir auf dem Capilano Campground (auch schon&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wie üblich). Schon am nächsten Tag nehmen wir die Fähre von Tsawwassen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nach Nanaimo, um unsere erste Zeit in diesem Canada-Jahr auf Vancouver&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Island zu verbringen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Von Nanaimo fahren wir auf dem Transcanada Highway über Duncan nach&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Süden, um in Sooke so richtig erste Station zu machen. Auf dem&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;einladenden gemeindeeigenen Campground stehen wir ein paar Nächte, und&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;benützen die Gelegenheit, mit dem Bus nach Victoria zu fahren. Der&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hafen, der Market Square und das IMAX-Kino haben es uns angetan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nach Sooke stehen wir für einige Tage in Jordan River direkt am&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pacific. Wenn wir uns vor das Motorhome setzen, könen wir Bald Eagle&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;und Sea-Otter beobachten. Weiter führt uns der Weg nach Port Renfrew,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wo wir einmal mehr den Botanical Beach Park besuchen und über das&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leben in den Potholes staunen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Von Port Renfrew folgen wir weiter der von Tourism British Columbia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;empfohlenen Pacific Marine Circle Route. Sie führt uns auf einer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ehemaligen Loggingroad, die jetzt mit festem Belag versehen ist, nach&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lake Cowichan. Der Municipal Campground dort beherbergt uns für eine&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nacht. Dann geht's weiter in den Cowichan River Provincial Park. Auf&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;dem Skutz Falls Campground lassen wir uns für einige Nächte und Tage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nieder. Wir benützen die Gelegenheit, den Loop auf dem Cowichan River&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Footpath zu geniessen. Immer noch ist die Flora (Common Camas, Western&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trillium, Chocolate Lily, Fawn Lily etc.) herrlich. Dazu blühen jetzt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;auch alle Saskatoon Sträucher.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zurück in Duncan haben wir die Schlaufe geschlossen. Nach einer Nacht&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;auf einem privaten Campground in Chemainus (berühmt für die vielen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wandbilder auf den Fassaden des Ortes) ist der Fährhafen von Nanaimo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;unser letztes Ziel auf dem Island. Und schon einen Tag später finden&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wir uns auf dem Bench Campground im Sasquatch Provincial Park. Schon&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bald ist der erste Monat unseres Trips 2008 in Sicht. Beendet wird er&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;auf dem Seton Dam Campground etwas westlich von Lillooet. Übrigens&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;erleben wir hier unsern ersten richtigen halben Regentag. Einige&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tropfen sind zwar schon öfter gefallen, aber so richtig eingeregnet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;werden wir da erstmals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unsere nächsten Pläne: Tunkwa Provincial Park, Wells Gray Provincial&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Park und Mount Robson Provincial Park. Ob es dann wirklich so kommt,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bleibt offen!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bis zum nächsten Monat&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peter und Karin&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Emerald Lake</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="331" vspace="0" hspace="6" height="221" border="0" align="left" src="http://travellers.go-west.com/Portals/0/DSC08316.jpg" alt="" /&gt;My dad and I parked our 30 Foot Regal Motorhome on the overnight parking lot right at Emerald Lake. My dad was a little bit hesitant weather we would be ok to overnight in the parking lot and not on a campground but that was no problem since we were not the only ones that decided to sleep right at the lake. Emerald Lake is one of the most admired destinations in Yoho National Park, with an unmatched diversity of both activities and landscapes suited to the enthusiastic traveler.&lt;br /&gt;
The hike around the lake, clocking in at about an hour, is one of the least strenuous but most rewarding in the park. An incredible breadth of geological features can be viewed from the lake, including the world-famous Burgess Shale fossil beds, the Michael glacier, and an avalanche slope carpeted by meadows where moose often graze.&lt;br /&gt;
Emerald Lake is a fantastic place to see bald eagles, moose, and ospreys are a common sight, as are waterfowl such as loons and mergansers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Location&lt;br /&gt;
Emerald Lake located approximately 200 km (125 miles) from Calgary, Alberta. To reach the lodge from Calgary, leave via 16th Avenue heading west. This route turns into the Trans Canada Highway #1 - which you follow directly to Field, British Columbia. Two km (1 mile) past the town of Field you will approach a turn-off clearly marked for Emerald Lake.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>In the Canadian Rockies</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="199" vspace="5" hspace="3" height="133" align="left" src="http://travellers.go-west.com/Portals/0/rockies.jpg" alt="" /&gt;After that is all done we leave Calgary far behind us and move straight towards the famous Canadian Rockies. The Destination for today is the area around Banff where we want to stay in a provincial park campground. The highlight of the day is certainly our fantastic steak with rice and broccoli that we enjoy with a nice cold beer over the fireplace.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Flight from Vancouver to Calgary and drive to Banff</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="200" vspace="3" hspace="5" height="132" align="left" src="http://travellers.go-west.com/Portals/0/flight.jpg" alt="" /&gt;Our early morning flight from Vancouver to Calgary only takes about an hour. Landed in Calgary we did not get tempted to make our way with the bus search for the rental station but hoped in a taxi. The hand over procedure happens fairly quick and we end up on the road already at 11 am. Now first thing is to get used to this big vehicle. My dad and I are still a bit suspicious and extra cautious on our first few kilometers trying to find the nearest supermarket with an extra wide parking lot to fill up our fridge.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
