Hey, Banff's a nice quiet place with great views of mountains all around.  Stayed in a posh B&B with a slightly odd landlady but was def more comfortable than Vancouver's Hostels.  Been hiking (the shortest hike in the guide book!) and checking out the local fudge shops, sunny and warm here, leaving tmrw to go to Canmore (21km away).  Wish you were all here haha! x
