Spruce Grove Inn Hotel Banff

... te un night club a dins que plega a les 3AM. Com ho sentiu, no ho havia vist mai. Podeu imaginar el que passa durant la nit pels passadissos de l'alberg. Menys deixar dormir passa de tot. La gent que s'hi esta majoritariament busca feina i es dedica a no res durant tot el dia, creuen que son super cool i porten gorres de beisbol mentre beuen cervesa de llauna en paquets de 6. Son futurs Homer Simpson ?<br>Una pena de ciutat perque els treks alla ...

... I missed free breakfast and went to Starbucks and got a bagel and coffee. Then went and booked in my horse riding and safari tour! Needed to kill some time before I had to be at the stables so it was back to Banff shops! I am so over it now though, because I&#8217;ve spent way too much time (and money) there. <br><br>Warner Stables was a nice place; I just loved the red building. Had to wait a while for the group before mine to get organized and I was a little scared because I ...

... have done. It's a very nice Inn! After checking in we took a drive to Lake Louise. On and off sun showers but again, never when we needed it to be dry or sunny. A little shopping on Banff Avenue and here we are sitting in the room downloading photos, charging batteries and writing blogs.<br><br>Tomorrow we drive to BC!

... along streets named Elk, Bear, Moose and the like. They even have public transit so I didn't have to hike 5kn up to Banff Gondola, I could just hop on a bus instead. The 2,200-foot Gondola ride was amazing, and although I was a bit nervous about being suspended by a cable more than 5,000 feet up in the air (the lower terminal is at 5,194' above sea level), I couldn't wipe the huge smile off my face. Banff is Canada's first protected national park, and I could ...

... at the foot of a towering sandstone cliff. We were deep in conversation as we pushed on to Lake Agnes where there was a lake side tea room at the top of a steep and high cliff. The path up was treacherously slippy, almost impossible to walk on without slipping, the snow becoming compacted. We had a good laugh trying to get up. At last we reached steps up the last section to the lake. We had our own food outside the cafe, a mars and oat bar for me! We took photos of the frozen Lake Agnes ...

... guessed we were hiring mopeds for the day - yay!!! Another part to the surprise was us riding out to Lake Minnewanka, as it is a place I had been wanting to visit it for a while - I must admit that it did take me a little while to get the hang of the moped, especially driving in and amongst other traffic. Lake Minnewanka was beautiful and we spent a while just wandering around taking LOTS of photos - just for something differentJ I also checked ...

... a snow that covered our shoes completely, and after another hour the snow got to our knees. Eventually, we gave up and turned back, having to walk two more hours in the snow on the way back. To conclude, this day was not the best hike I have been to, but it was an interesting experience. On the fourth day we drove from Banff to Jasper. Since it's a four hour drive, we expected it to be quite a boring day. However, it turned out that the ...

... feel like now is the right time to move on. I was pretty jaded about the whole Banff experience at the end of last year, but then I really wanted to stay at the same time. There are always new people, new friendships that make you want to stay that little bit longer, and I guess that was what it was. I had people here, and was settled in to things nicely and really no plan for what I was going to do back home after the holidays in freezing cold miserable Winnipeg in ...

... extra cost of $200 more than our original quote. Cheeky *******s. By this point I'd had enough, so I grabbed Elly and said were going. We were both a bit hosteled out anyway, and its not like were totally skint. It was time to stay somewhere decent. We walked onto the main street, walked into the first nice looking hotel and got a room. That evening we walked to a hat full of hotels inquiring about rates. It turned out that the one we were staying at ...
