On the Move again !

Another lovely sunny morning in Calgary,as we packed up, and said our Goodbye’s to Siobhain Brian Ginger & Freddie – a big Thank You from all of us for opening your house to us – as myself Joseph Nicola and Thomas set off on our travels into the Rockie mountains..

we were soon flying along the Trans Canada highway, and into our destination town for the next week Banff http://www.banfflakelouise.com/?gclid=CLHD1ofmirICFWThQgodSVsApQ where we plan to do some walking and climbing

First stop…lunch at the Timbers restaurant http://www.timbersbanff.com/ followed by a ‘pitstop ‘ for Thomas whilst Joseph and I went shopping in the local Safeway

Then it was up to our accommodation, at the plush Hidden Ridge Resort, up at the top of the Tunnel Mountain Road, with great views of the nearby mountains http://www.bestofbanff.com/hidden-ridge-resort/ and I finally had the chance to unpack my stuff !

So, first stop were the Hot Pools, where all of us (including Thomas) had a soak in the pools, looking at the surrounding mountains…then back for a quick change, and down into Banff centre where we met up with Kathleen and Stewart at the St James Gate Pub http://stjamesgatebanff.com/ a real ‘Olde Irish Bar’ !!where we had an evening of chatting,eating and listening to the music from the band …and planning for the next day

Then it was back home, for a not so early night !

Goodnight !
