Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Tues 3rd February – Thursday 5th February We finally left Michelle and Nevil’s house after about five failed attempts (Please note: if you invite us to stay, you might not be able to get rid of us) It really felt like we were starting a new chapter of our trip, as we finally headed east…
Saturday 24th January – Monday 2nd February I was extremely happy that our passing through Lake Louise coincided with the Banff and Lake Louise Ice Magic Festival, which is part of Snow Days, a celebration of all things Winter.

It was in a beautiful setting, overlooking a forest with a big viewing deck to view the northern lights; when they decided to…
We woke to a mix of rain and sleet, but on the bright side I could feel my feet! This was quite a treat after the past few nights, where my feet resembled blocks of ice. I’d also been warm all night which was amazing, so nice not waking up in the middle of the…
