2nd day of Banff

(Welcome to Banff)

I could not eat breakfast because I overslept. When I went to TV room, Shuhei was there. We decided to go to see Vermilion Lake and hike Surpher Mountain.

 Firstly, we made sandwich and went to Vermilion Lake. Lake was big and very clean. I took some of pictures and went back to hostel to have a sandwich.

When I was taking rest in the lobby, a germen guy, who I drank with last night, came to me and give me some information of hiking.

“If you do not mind tourist, you would better go to Surpher Mountain to hike” he said with strong germen accent.

“Alright, I would like to take the trail.”

And we talked about going to Lake Louise and Jasper with some other people who stay in the hostel. If we can rent a car to go to Jasper, it would be cheaper with many people.

After I had enough time to charge myself to go to the trail, I woke Shuhei and we left the hostel heading to Surpher Mountain.

When I was hiking to the top of the mountain, a guy just said hi to me. It was Jonathan, who just arrived last night to Banff and stayed the hostel together; we went up to the mountain together.

When we got down to the mountain, we saw an Elk. He or she was bigger then what I thought.

Finally, I got back to the Hostel and there was same people how drank last night together, so I bump into them.
