Did we enjoy dining at the Banff Springs Hotel ? |
Does a bear shit in the woods ? |
When we left Banff at about 7 pm and headed for Calgary. The clouds disappeared and the weather was beautiful so we just kept driving and ended up in Strathmore where we booked into a nice Travelodge at about 9 pm. The hotel had free coffee and apple pie in the evening and a free hot breakfast in the morning (you can't beat that). It was a long day but beautiful scenery all the way. |
