| Day 4 - In and around Banff | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7:00am | Woke up after a 'fitful' night. Apparently Mary slept badly. She went outside with a chair, a book and her new JAMZ for 1 hour(ish). We all dozed again.
8:30am This is where we actually discovered there was no kettle. Ring 405 again - kettle in 10 minutes! 10(ish) Set out for Banff - elk sitting on someone's lawn.
Yesterday evening we had decided to go White Water Rafting and had found out all necessary details. Today we found Hydra (who we had decided to go with) and booked for tomorrow which would be an 8:45am start, back 4:40pm(ish). Lots of dosh. |

| Sulphur Springs | Very hot again today, Tourist Info Centre said 30% chance rain - I don't think so. Drove up to the Upper Sulphur Springs on Sulphur Mountain. Went in, small pool that has been cooled to 40C. They recommended not more than 20 minutes in it. You must be joking! We were actually glad to get out into the hot air. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bow Falls | From there we drove down to Bow Falls - Japanese on bikes everywhere, mostly middle aged, all with trousers and shirts and none sweating - weird. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tunnel Mountain | After that took the road to Tunnel Mountain and saw the views and took pictures of the Hoodoos.
4(ish) Back to our room for ham sandwiches and drinks (and a siesta). Back to Banff 5ish for a light tea from the various snack/deli places in the air conditioned plaza. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A Trip on Lake Minniewanka | Then it was the 15 minute drive to Lake Minniewanka (pronounced wonker) for the evening cruise. Lots of scenery, several pictures. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the end of the day | 9(ish) Now we are back chez nous - more drinks. Mary drying clothes she washed earlier, girls reading, me writing this.
Tomorrow will be a fun-packed day hopefully. Afterwards we should get the chance to buy the photos and the T shirts - will keep you posted. |
