We slept well, and came out of bed a little
bit late. We have breakfast at the hotel
and after this we drive to the Mount
Revelstoke National Park. From the beginning to the top of the park is
almost a half hour driving with a lot of curves, after which you arrive at
an elevation of 1900 metres. On our way we got some brochures about all kinds
of encounters with animals in the forest like bears, cougars, elks 
etc. If you read all the story's you never step out of the car again...But
we didn't get scared and walked a small trail. We made a lot of noise to scare
off the bears (that's what the book tells!). It was very cold at the top,
especially if you only wearing shorts! Our hands were frozen and we didn't
see any wildlife at all. Quickly we step into our car and this time our heated
seats were very useful :-)
We drive a little further away to walk the Boardwalk
Skunk Cabbage trail. The trail takes about 10 minutes. Remko and Hans
descended to the river with the help of a rope. Oh yes, this time it was very
useful. After this 'excitement' we walked the Giant
Cedars Trail which was a little bit further on. This trail brings you
along many 800 years old Redwood cedars which was very impressive. We visited
the Revelstoke Dam on
our way back, but this was a little bit disappointing. After we arrived at
the hotel we took a dip into the heated
indoor pool to warm up. At night we went to the same restaurant as yesterday,
but this time we took a pizza. Although it tasted very well, it was a bit
too big for us. At night Hans came over to take a bubble bath, and of course
we made some pictures of it...
Meanwhile we are going to bed, Hans knows the way out!
