"I'm in canada!"
THE TOUR: JULY 12TH - 29TH 2003
Starring: Alastair, Charlotte, Ruari & Andrew Watson (and lots of animals)
Whistler

Ruari was really annoyed. Andrew was really pleased with himself. Five minutes earlier, a bet had been settled. Andrew was the first person to spot a bear in the wild (while travelling up the mountain in a gondollah - me, not the bear).
The Glacier - Banff

One of the highlights.

Pure ice. I decided that staying to the designated area was probably a good idea.
We used this bus to travel directly onto the glacier. This was a specially made vehicle, custom built with huge inflatable tyres, making it possible to travel safely across the ice.
Ice Ice Baby.
Cool Lake - Banff

Canada's a nice place.
Lake Louise

My favourite photo.

Alvin!!!!

La familia.
Beaver Dam - Somewhere

Just off camera. Sign: "Warning. Bears in the area."
Niagara Falls

We took one of the boat trips to get a closer view of the action.

Yes. We got wet.

Notice the group of people on the rock on the left of the photo. How they got there, I do not know.
CN Tower - Toronto

The world's tallest building in all it's glory.

Looking through the glass floor. No, I did not take this photo.
Montabello

Yes. It is as close as it looks.

Attack of the Killer Raccoons!

Big, bad and mad.

"Everything is quiet, peaceful and serene, that is until…"

"I'm horny. Horny, horny, horny."

"Who's been eating my porridge?"

The obligatory moose

Otto rejected Tarka's offer to recreate the swimming pool scene from 'Showgirls'
Going Bear Watching

They say that if a bear attacks, you should climb up a tree. They can't get you there.
