I'm accompanying Davy, a cop from Ghent who's on holiday here. I ask if he knows a friend of mine from high school who went on to become a cop as well. He does: "Ah, de rosten!!" ("Ah, the redhead!").
Today's destination: Waterton National Park, on the border with the US. The 300km drive to it alone is worth the trip:
By the time we've gotten to the park, we've pulled over countless times to look around us and take pictures. I thought I took a lot of pictures (50-100 per day, which equals 2,000 on a 1-month vacation), but this guy averages 8,000 on a 1-month vacation.
Finally we arrive in the park. Look at those clouds!
At the end of this lake (Cameron Lake) is the US border, where Waterton changes into Glacier National Park. Another thing on my places-to-visit list! By the way, 500km further South is Yellowstone, also on my wish list, together with Alaska, and the many places closer to home (Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, Fort McMurray, BC).
A great thing of living abroad is you can do cool stuff like this every weekend. We have another (small) trip planned next Wednesday. Check back next weekend!
Yellowstone! Wow - never been but I've heard it's amazing! Plus cool bacteria live by the geyser vents I think. And Alaska is beautiful, even though their mosquitoes are ~ 4.5 cm across (ew!)
