Some of us have more Sense than Cents,others have more Cents than Sense. For our visitors looking for bikini holiday photos of celebrities, sorry to disappoint you, but you can look at the previous blogs for photos of Penelope Cruz, Cindy Crawford.... For this posting, we are featuring our Canadian celebrity politician, Jack Layton vacationing on a rental yacht - a canoe (definition of yacht being a pleasure watercraft).
Canadians are a little more conservative when it comes to water adventures. We do not have the deep pockets that our southerly neighbours have, no megabucks, no megayachts. Here in the photo above, our celebrity politician Jack Layton's idea of water adventure is paddling the Nahanni River (in Canada's Northwest Territories) with his wife Olivia Chow. (No jetski or any noisy watercrafts, just a quiet row with good friends enjoying the majestic wilderness).
The Nahanni River is the icon of Canadian wilderness rivers. It is situated in a mountainous landscape and flows through Canada’s deepest river canyons, past hot springs and geological features so unique that the Nahanni River was declared the first World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1978.
Each of Nahanni canoeing and rafting expeditions include Virginia Falls, the canyons and the small and isolated First Nation community of Nahanni Butte. The trips depart from Fort Simpson and all include opportunities for hiking.
These expeditions offer plenty of opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, birding, .......
