Thought we’d have a shorter day today but that didn’t prove to be the case. Started off with breakfast at Denny’s. The usual very slow service and lukewarm food. Far too much in spite of asking for the over 55 portions.
Then filled up with petrol at C$2.20 per litre. Everyone is complaining here too!
Nice drive as far as Golden withe the added bonus of seeing our first black bear this holiday. Never seen them on this road before and there was loads of traffic and roadworks nearby. Not shy these bears.
Once we got to Golden we found that Highway 1 was closed and there was a long detour. Added another couple of hours to our journey but worth it as we saw another 4 bears. A real treat.
Tired when we got to Banff though and ready to unpack properly and then go for a meal and drink at one of our favourite places – on the outside balcony at Banff BrewingCompany. Caesar salad and some local beer.
Now for bed.
