On
Tuesday morning we boarded our flight to Calgary, arriving just
before lunch-time. It took a while for us to familiarise ourselves
with our hire vehicle, a Nissan X-Terra. We managed to make it out of the
airport, driving on the 'wrong' side of the road, and to a shopping
centre without incident. After picking up supplies we booked into the
Olympia Lodge Hotel. Calgary was at the end of a severe flooding
event, with many homes without power, and downtown still evacuated.
Roads are cut west and south, and it seems unlikely we can go to
Banff in the morning. We went for a walk along the Bow River and saw
some of the effects of the flood, and watched geese and goslings.
