Today was a fun filled day driving to Calgary and back...NOT! Apparently British Columbia roads do not believe in having visible lanes, lighting or effective signage. We didn't go via Banff (one positive( this time) however managed to end up going 40km in the wrong direction before we realised something seemed odd, so we asked a truckie attaching chains to point us back on track (pretty much back the way we came). Atleast the diversion enabled us to see Elkwood...a town made up of a sign saying Elkwood and a petrol station. Well back on track we finally made it to Calgary where we dropped Stephen off to his hotel (he heads back tomorrow morning). Knowing the crappy conditions we thought we better head back so we get back before dark....our 3.5hr trip was then extended to a 5 hr trip as another scenic route was taken west instead of east...WHHHAAATTT??? so confusing its a straight road!!! Lesson learnt, always have a map, ipod (canadian radio is at a zero rating), and Lehan to reassure you that you are doing a great job a driving. Other news...Lehan is babysitting privately a couple of times a week, Jared landed a ski instructing position and I am still doing what I do best...being awesome haha. Also we have a Keith a UK dude crashing at ours for the week and a new house mate to replace Steve, Harmin a dutch dude that Jared kept feeding hot sauce too. The boys all had a big night last night and I woke to a group of giggly men hookin into any food in the kitchen that could be found which was followed by setting a couple of fire works off in the street which was followed by a neighbour being very unimpressed....we have apologised since. Also went trout fishing with Dennis and Oskar and Iszac however no such luck this time. Hopefully this rain stops so we can get some decent time on the mountain...fingers crossed. It's late, I won't be proofreading this.
