On the trail towards Calgary plenty to see a lot. You are hardly got into the car and drove off, one of the next tourist-sign indicates an interest. So it happens (on my own body experiences) that within 20 kilometers of well and got out is like seven times. But still, I reached my milestone (Columbia Icefield Centre) on time in order to climb with the first tour that day, the glacier. It sounds now much harder than it is. With specially designed and built "Icefield Explorers" (as they call it) is gone to meet on the second largest glacier in Canada (Athabasca Icefield), about four kilometers of the tip. Like any Icefield was this bigger years ago. Today is a kilometer wide, six miles long and 325 meters thick. After warming up
means tidy the next milestone in "Lake Louise". Very quickly I realized what it is Canada's most photographed natural location to be. The image along Lake Louise with its glacier in the background of more than 100,000 visitors annually clipped. And at lunch time I was with about 4,000 other tourist alone at Lake Louise. Beautiful, right?
I am currently located in Canmore, about 90 minutes from Calgary and wait until my alarm clock goes off. Because then the hourglass starts to run to the World Skills in earnest. Today at 10.10 Central European Time Clock lifts the team from Swiss-Skills in Kloten. The mission can begin
!
