Day 10 - Lake Louise - Medicine Hat, Alberta,Canada
Day 10 – 18th June 2005 -7:00 GMT Total Distance Travelled 5727 Miles
Woke up to and it was snowing, we set off on the road for another days driving in the torrential rain, the radio said it was the worse rain storm since 1902 they had 150mm in 24 hours. This caused the highway to flood so we got diverted along the back roads until we got into Calgary. We stopped at the Olympic park where the 1988 winter Olympics took place. We went on a guided tour and our Guide was the 2005 world games Luge gold medallist “Marshall” got to see the Luge, Skeleton and Bobsleigh centre and also climbed to the top of the ski jump and saw where Eddie the Eagle came second to last, we looked around the Museum there and I got top hold the actually Olympic Torch. We then carried on along highway one, I got stopped for speeding by the police, only 10mph over the speed limit on the motorway and ended up with a $124 fine. After 6 hours of driving and 500 km We checked into a Motel in Medicine Hat for the night.
