What a difference a day makes

The last couple of days we've travelled around 600 km or 400 miles and the two chunks have been very different.

The first day young Dan seemed to be teething badly which meant that out of the 4 or 5 hours on the road he was crying or complaining for at least three of them. I know if wasn't his fault but it wasn't fun either ;p

Today we started at roughly the same time and although he wasn't too happy to start with Jacqui got him to sleep and he was down for a good hour and a half. Time enough for us to get to Lake Louise where we stopped at the historic railway station for some good food in fascinating surroundings. We would really recommend the restaurant. Dan stayed awake after dinner and for the whole journey to Golden. And he was in a good mood the whole way helped by careful toy selection on my part.

As I speak he is drifting off to sleep with Jacqui and peace reigns while the rain falls.
