A couple of hours later I could see the Rocky mountains on the horizon. We were getting nearer and nearer. The sun was setting so I was in a rush to get there so I could get a great photograph of the sun setting behind the mountains. Lucky for me we got there just in time. I didn't quite get the shots I wanted as I was only using the camera on my phone but I saw it. The memories I had of the great lakes have just been pushed back a bit and replaced by this, the Rocky Mountains. I was just staring and staring out of all the windows looking at the mountains. I had been in the Andes but I didn't go right through them like I was now. It eventually got too dark to see anything any more so I had a little nap. We were now in British Columbia, the last of the provinces on the trip. The next time I looked out the window, we were in these towns that all looked like ski lodges. We had arrived at this place called Banff. It is a small town in Banff national park. I have heard about this place as being a ski resort in the winter months. It was very cool, these log cabins everywhere and chalets. It wasn't even a stop on the list, just a get on/off stop. We were soon off. It was pitch black outside so I called it a night. In the morning I would be in Vancouver. I went to bed with a smile and it stayed on my face the whole night. I could see signs for Vancouver on the roads now, I knew we must have been very close. It was really cloudy though, I was only wearing shorts and was expecting sun. the bus did the last few stops and then it was Vancouver.
