A fresh load of recumbent bikes and equipment for the coming autumn, such as tents and clothing are stuck at the Calgary's customs, so Nicole tells us from Lethbridge, Canada. They are nearby the border with the United States. Reason : the wrapping is 'oversized'. They became suspicious and they opened the whole lot. They checked piece by piece ! We expect to receive it this week here in Lethbridge. All our thanks to DHL for their urgent intervention ! Will we be able to cross over to the United States ? Well, the mountain pass has snowed up. The past few days were less funny because of the storm and the heavy snowfall. Then the message came that the customs at Calgary held our stuff that was sent from Belgium. On top of that Canada celebrated an official anniversary : Labourday. You can compare it to Belgian's 1st May. So, everything was closed in Canada and that meant that we would be facing a very long weekend.

Make a virtue of necessity ! So we decided to wander about. We are big fans of the serial Star Trek. I saw a sign, a plate with the name Vulcan on it.... and we were beginning to see the light ! Had it something to do with the serial ? We went over to the tourist information and they confirmed it. They even suggested that we should visit the Star Trek amusement/attraction park. We had the time of our live there !! We went into the Enterprise-spaceshuttle - one with buzzy doors that open automatically. You could change into Star Trek clothes, just like the main actors in the serial. Ingrid changed into Mister Spock and I, ofcourse changed into captain Kirk. What fun we had !! If you had seen us, you probably would have thought : they are not all there.....

We could attack the 'enemy' with futuristic guns so we saved the outer space from potential aliens......
