I had a great night sleep. In the morning Chris told me he had to turn the heating off as he was sweating! Oh, and I spent most of the night grinding my teeth! (I think one day I'm going to have warn my teeth away!). It was nice to have our own room. Today we had planned to head into the town centre and visit the information centre to see what we could do during our time in Banff. In the discovery tour office we managed to get a lot booked which means we have a ...

Today we were leaving the city of Calgary and heading into the Canadian Rockies! We had a very relaxed morning. Our bus was picking us up at 12:45 from the greyhound bus station. Had a bit of a lay in before packing up again. Everything is starting to have a place in my rucksack! We didn't have any breakfast as it wasn't very nice the other day. Then headed to the basement tv room, watched tv for a bit as we needed to check out at 11. Of course we played some mor...

It was only 3 stops away on the trams. The tram station was actually the start of h Zoo. We had picked...

All I managed to do was brush my teeth and get some water so I could take pain killers. Climbed back into my bunk and went to sleep I couldn't feel the hangover when I was slee...

We had been on the coach a couple of hours before our first rest stop, also known as a 10 minute smoking stop. I would say that 75% of the bus got off for a smoke. After the short stop, everyone was asked to get back on the bus. Due to security the bus drivers don't allow passenger to sit in the front row of the bus. Anyway, there was this guy who had decided he would take the front row. The driver was an oldish kind of guy, and the only way I can describe him is...
