Drumheller (Visiting Canadian badlands with cacti) | European husbands in Canada

[@lilianadoval8927]

Wow guys. A true expedition to the past when in the middle of the prairie appears the Horseshoe Canyon. That wonderful place created by nature millons of years ago. I who am very dramatic would expect to find snakes , bats or even scorpions in each of those deep crevices. Drumheller's Hoodoos, which also exist in other places of the planet under different names are still the subject of scientific research today. Peter, nice to hear you say the word "siesta" instead of "nap", very well pronounced, as we do in my country. My language is Spanish just like in Spain but our pronunciation is very diferent. Another amazing video. You never disappoint. Bye sweeties.

[@tommyandpeter]

It was such a unique place! Fortunately, we're not as dramatic so we didn't even think of worrying of all those dangerous animals 😃 Viva la fiesta!

[@kathleenchild]

I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos to educate us along the way. Glad you didn’t fall on any cactus 🌵

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you Kathleen, glad you didn't find our "smart babbling" boring. We like natural science so we always like to share what we learned 😁

[@SebastienFortin07]

I never thought we had cacti, here in Canada! You made me discover something about my own country!

[@tommyandpeter]

It was a nice discovery so we are glad it could be unknown even for Canadians 😊

[@bradypustridactylus488]

We used to go to the badlands in Chiricahua National Monument regularly. It looks so similar: hoodoos, balancing rocks, and ravines, but with more vegetation. It's ironic that the badlands in Alberta are more barren than the ones in Arizona.

[@tommyandpeter]

Who would have thought Canada had such a barren area. It's a huge difference compared to all the mountains and never-ending forests.

[@shelleyritchie3568]

I live just south of Vancouver British Columbia and I’ve traveled that area and actually across Canada, but you introduced me today to a place I’ve never seen or at even imagined in Canada. Fascinating!

[@anemarseno]

It is true that Canada is fascinating! And to think that it is just a small piece of the wonderful home we call Earth. And it exists only to to be home to the human family and all other living creatures.

[@tommyandpeter]

We probably wouldn't know about the area either if my brother didn't live in Calgary and didn't tell us about it. We're glad we got to visit the Badlands and we're happy to have introduced you to the area!

[@shelleyritchie3568]

@@anemarseno A wonderful expanded outlook on our planet earth!

[@denisekoch3139]

Another great video. I was not aware that this existed in Canada. I knew of the plains but not this. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@tommyandpeter]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a very interesting trip and a nice change compared to all the other places we'd seen before.

[@robertobaldessari9464]

What most impressed us about your beautiful "travel documentary" are the dimensions or rather a "sensation of the vastness" of the Canadian territory. Authentic treasures of geology. As always very good, you give us beautiful dreams. A big kiss to both of you from Roberto and Daniela

[@tommyandpeter]

That's so true. In Europe everything feels small and cramped into small space while in Canada some places look never-ending. Somehow nature in North America looks bigger. Huge mountains, big waterfalls, powerful rivers and now these canyons. It was very interesting to see.

[@davidscott688]

Boys, you never disappoint your viewers. Yet again, your video of the Badlands was fascinating and certainly introduced to me an area of Canada that I didn't know existed. Keep up the good work!! x

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, David. It was definitely something different this time 😊

[@hellerjerry]

looks like it was a fun adventure

[@tommyandpeter]

It was very unique, and we really enjoyed the trip!

[@john7027]

You were right, I did learn something today! Good job teachers. See you next week ♥️

[@tommyandpeter]

Glad you liked it, John. There might even be an extra video sooner 😉

[@melvyncrimlis8997]

The "thingies" on the noisy planes are propellers. Thank you for the lovely travelogue, not what I expected inCanada, and as you say more reminiscent of somewhere like Utah

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, the badlands were definitely different and we like different 😊

[@yottskraper5704]

So! You are in Canada living on cookies and water! How exciting! I’m going to drive up there and find you guys! 😜

[@tommyandpeter]

Bring more cookies!

[@roberteichenberg604]

Wow. I had no idea there are badlands in Canada. I thought they were trees and mountains. When I visited Calgary years ago I flew AirCanada back to Seattle Washington. I was surprised that the plane was driven by propellers; I didn't know they made them anymore but for short flights it makes more sense than jets. Great travel log guys.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, Robert. It's so cool that there are also these kinds of landscapes in Canada. The propeller airplanes are used quite often for shorter flights in Canada. They even have seaplanes!

[@ninocaruana945]

Wow I've never been in a canyon but it does look like you are both in Texas or Mexico not Canada, what a wonderful adventure to have, thanks for showing us your trip made me smile, take care of each other

[@tommyandpeter]

We were surprised too but we also loved it because it was so different to everything else we had seen in Canada. We always like seeing something new 😊 Glad we made you smile 😉

[@jodieblake7398]

Thank you both so much for all you do!!

[@tommyandpeter]

It's our pleasure! Thank you for watching 😊

[@OutFrontWithStephen]

I am glad you guys made this vlog. I had no idea Canada had such landscapes. It looks like the Southwest here. But pretty none the less.

[@tommyandpeter]

We kinda knew what to expect but it was still very cool to see cacti for example. Very unusual 😊

[@antoinebarras8081]

A fascinating video. Never thought there would be this type of terrain in Canada. It's reminds me of some areas in the western USA. I find the canyons most interesting also. I knew there were prairies in Canada but nothing like this. Glad you took us there. On your list of places to visit, I think you should think about Grand Canyon in Arizona. It is one of those places you will never forget because of it's vastness and rugged beauty. It is amazing that cacti even grow in Canada. Thanks again for a very informative video. I can tell you are still enjoying your vacation. Take care. Tony

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, Tony! We were glad we went there, it is very cool to see these different landscapes. We were enjoying our Canadian vacation very much (but we were there only for 2.5 weeks, it just seems longer because we've been posting so many videos of it 😁 ) We would love to visit Grand Canyon one day, maybe even ride a raft on the river.

[@lestatthaddee]

Thanks for the geology lesson in the Badlands !

[@tommyandpeter]

No problem, just sharing what we'd learned a few moments before 😊

[@wtkoemans]

I'ts nice in Canada but I miss your home and property! I understand that you are back home alteady, so I would say: let us see. And perhaps some recepies?

[@tommyandpeter]

Our videos from Canada are almost over. We've been filming in our garden in the meantime so videos from our country home will follow soon 😊

[@thiborruat]

Merci !

Hey guys! Glad you enjoyed our day trip. We learned a lot ourselves 😃

[@davidsheppard1362]

What a strange place. I have not been there. I would not have believed they had cacti in Canada !

[@tommyandpeter]

We're very glad we got to see the Badlands because they were so unique and unlike any other place we'd seen in Canada. It felt like travelling to another country.

The Smart Introvert Channel .... is very lovely.

[@tommyandpeter]

We are both science oriented introverts, so it comes up by itself 😁

[@davidandmichael2689]

Loved the video and enjoyed your trip through the Badlands more than our own. We were there about 5 years ago and our timing was horrible so it was overcrowded with people.

[@tommyandpeter]

Oh no, how did it happen that it was overcrowded? We definitely wouldn't have liked that 😀

[@davidandmichael2689]

@@tommyandpeter We got there on the May long weekend when a lot of things open for the year and the weather was spectacular. We should have known better.😩🦖

[@a-5699]

I knew it, I just knew it! You two could not film without encountering animals, dinosaurs and prairie dogs. If you had your giant rabbit you could’ve ridden him around the valley like I suggested 😂! Beautiful video guys, and the view of that thunderstorm was so impressive. Pete from D.C.

[@tommyandpeter]

Well, there are animals everywhere in Canada! It would definitely be cool to have a giant Calgarian rabbit 😀 Glad you liked the thunderstorm 😊

[@eddiegardner8232]

It’s hard to imagine that kind of landscape being in Canada. Looks more like New Mexico or Arizona.

[@tommyandpeter]

Yeah, it was a nice change, we liked it 🙂

[@kathleenchild]

Also, they are called prairie dogs not moles.

[@tommyandpeter]

Such a funny name, prairie dogs 😊 We were mentioning voles (not moles) - they live in our garden and try to destroy it by eating roots of our plants. They are small rodents similar to mice (sometimes called field mice) and we are at war with them 😐😀

[@neillawson2578]

Very different, no mosquitos? :) All of the people disappeared because the violet bluebells attacked. LOL The spinning thingies on small aircraft are propellers. :)

[@tommyandpeter]

Haha, there were mosquitos when we were sitting in shade eating cookies, but luckily just a normal amount of them 😀

[@jaysmith2414]

i did not know they had cactus in Canada,we do have them in Texas.

[@tommyandpeter]

We were a bit surprised too, definitely not what you'd expect.

[@andrewaway]

I’ve never been to the badlands. It looks fabulous. Did you manage to go to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump? ❤

[@tommyandpeter]

What an interesting name! Back in 2015 we travelled from Calgary to Waterton Lakes National Park where we stayed a night, so we were very close to that place but sadly we didn't know about it, so we didn't make a stop there.

[@dorakranjc8361]

Hi guys! I want to reffer on your previous video about Canadian houses, that they look old. They look like that because they are assembley ( I dont know if this is right word). They want to be finished very quickly. We have, in my home town a Canadian settlement where the houses were built in Canadian style. Very quick, so thats probably why they look old. i hope you will understand what I meant to say.

[@tommyandpeter]

Hi Dora. We know what you mean 😉 But the style probably doesn't have to be old-fashioned on these assembled houses.

[@dorakranjc8361]

@@tommyandpeter But for some reason they are.

Gosh! I had no idea that Canada had hot, dry areas. Those canyons were impressive, though they fell just a bit short in matching Tommy’s wit and sarcasm. Lol And Peter: Tommy has gorgeous legs. Just saying! 😉 But tut-tut, you may be in North America, but what you heard overhead were aeroplanes not airplanes. That’s just a sloppy Americanism. 🙄✈️

[@tommyandpeter]

I call them deer legs, they are thin and cute 😊 Aeroplanes sound very old-fashioned to us 😀

[@stefan0ni]

@@tommyandpeter Yes, Peter, you’re right, they are gazelle-like. 😀 The sloppy term ‘Airplane’ generally grates on those speaking British and Irish English. But then many sloppy North Americanism grate. 🤣🧨

[@tommyandpeter]

Oh really? From the hoodoos?

The small rodents are probably gophers.

Canadians in the comments were saying that the rodents are called priarie dogs, such an interesting name 😊

Wow! You certainly got your money’s worth from this vacation lol. No wonder you two are so small from all this walking lol. But such beautiful scenery’s. Looks a bit like Arizona the dry flatland’s. Awesome guys have a great week!

Hiking is the best exercise! It keeps us fit and it's very enjoyable at the same time 😊 The Badlands were very cool to see and a nice change of scenery.
