While there Frizzie did some ice skating while Wazza looked the place over and marvelled at the amuement site totally indoor. This place is a must for any traveller its a buzz.
After lunch at Subway we set sail for Jasper and again the weather was snowing and cold and we arrived at the whistler lodge at Jasper. It was in a lovely setting and was tucked away amongst the mountains where we enjoyed and evening with a log fire and great fellow travellers.
