Lizard Adventure Travel

The local seniors that I've taken out on trips make me laugh, but the questions from tourists really trump everyone.  I could devulge my list of top 20, but while reading the news today I stumpled across this list from Banff National Park.  I just couldn't resist a re-post...

From an unofficial survey of Banff tour operators, here are the top 20 outrageous questions, some with answers in case you've wondered the same thing. As for the rest, well, they stand on their own.

1.Are the animals with collars tame? (These animals have been fitted withtagged collars because they have had incidents with people. It isimportant to stay a safe distance away from wildlife.)

2. We are going into British Columbia. Do we need to change our money into Euros?

3.Can we drive our car onto a glacier anywhere? (Not to our knowledge,but you might enjoy a trip on the Ice Explorer across the ColumbiaIcefields.)
