First day in Banff

This

train had 306 containers

So good not to have to get in the car today. Spent the first couple of hours trying to sort out the blog. The WordPress app seems to have thrown a wobbly so having to go on the website which isn’t as easy for me being a complete numbumpty in regards to technology!
Anyway hope I manage to get something on to remind me when I’m in my dotage and look back at these wonderful holidays.
Our first outing was for our usual coffee at Evelyns. Memorable as Paul managed to spill his entire cup all over the table and the floor. The staff were really nice and made out it wasn’t a problem and cleaned up and even made him another. They’re going to be so pleased we’re here all week!
Then went for a walk along the Bow River and around the marshes. Walked to Vermillion Lakes where we watched a couple of bald eagles playing high up in the sky. Nice to catch our first sight of our favourite birds. On the way back managed to take a pic of a chipmunk. They are so cute
By this time my ankles were really sore from the newish hiking boots (nite to self – wear plasters tomorrow) so popped into the pub for a beer. Don’t worry Steph, the thought of non-alcoholic never entered my mind!
Then back to the hotel via the supermarket for some refreshments. Can’t get my head around not being able to stock up on alcohol in them!
