Wednesday, 7 May Banff

Had my first solid good night's sleep since arriving in Canada. I'm sure it was sheer exhaustion. Thankfully we did not have an early start to the day so eventually waddled to breakfast just after 9. We had a bit of a wander around our hotel which is huge and has amazing outdoor areas. The views from our room are breathtaking.

We then waddled into downtown Banff which was about a 25 minute walk. It certainly is tourist oriented and as it is only the start of the summer season there were not large crowds everywhere. I loved that so many of the stores had the word moose in them or other quirky names.

We got on our tour bus for a ride back to our hotel where we had a snack in our room and then headed off with some from our tour for the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain. More breathtaking views everywhere you look. Time to head back down the mountain and to our hotel where it was happy hour.We went to have a pie dinner drink in the Rundle bar and had no sooner decided where to sit when Ian called us over to sit with him and his wife Patrice. So we had a nice catch up with them, headed back to our room, changed for dinnerand thento dinner at the Vermillion room. We were seated with 4 other people from our tour that we hadn't previously spoken to but by the end of the 3 course meal we were all laughing and getting on famously. Mind you most of the laughing was directed at me when I told them how excited I was about meeting a Mountie tomorrow as I have always wanted my own Mountie! Some girls want a pony but I want a Mountie just like Benton in Due North!!! Oh, and dinner was excellent but I couldnt eat all of it. Hardly touched the chocolate gateau and forgot to take a photo...
More waddling back to our room. Catch up on the blog which has decided to put photos wherever it likes! and now time for bed at a reasonable hour.
