Day 24? - Jasper

Hi everybody (hi Dr. Nick!)

Back in Jasper for a few days. It's still cold here, but oh my god, it's a little township within a massive National Park and the scenery here is just fabulous, bordering on unbelievable. I have been lucky enough to meet up with a certain lady from Prince George who was extremely nice enough to come over and see me and keep me warm, er, company for the past couple of days. The last couple of days and nights have been brilliant. A really good change from just touring around by myself and was very nice to er, talk to someone for an extended period of time. :-)

I must admit I haven't seen too much of Jasper this time around (been indoors quite a bit), but I did get out today and went an did the Malign Valley Ice Canyon walk. I was basically just going past the tour guide place and so I popped in and asked if they had any tours and they said they did, in about 5 minutes. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to run back and get my camera so I didn't get any photo's sorry. But it was a pretty neat trip up a frozen river and we saw some neat stuff such as some ice climbers, a sort of natural ice hotel and a cool little ice slide. All in all, it took about 3 hours and was about $50 but was totally worth it, you can only do it a few months of the year and I doubt there are many places in the world you can do and see all that. Very cool.

So not too much else to report actually, just gonna finish this entry and then go down to the hotel's restaurant and pub for a meal and some drinks and then head to bed I think. I had a mid afternoon train to Vancouver tomorrow, which will take about 17 hours I think so better get my book ready hehe.
