As
mentioned, on Sunday we
got up around 7am, and did a bathroom shuffle. As it was a nice clear
day, we thought the best activity for the morning was the banff
Gondola ride. Once again it was
lucky we went early, as by the time we came down the car park was
full and people were being turned away. At the top was a 1km
interpretive boardwalk, and stunning mountain views. It is very
popular and sometimes it was hard to get photos with all the people
up there. A Big-horned Sheep was sitting just down from the top, chewing its cud. Back at the “Y” we had lunch and then Donna,
(Darryl's friend from Pimlico
days) turned
up from Winnipeg on the shuttle bus.
Donna's friend Patricia arrived
soon after and we all walked up to Banff Springs Hotel
(http://www.fairmont.com/banff-springs/
) to have a look – what a
place! We had an enjoyable time
at dinner at “Wild Bill's Saloon”
(http://www.wbsaloon.com/),
although I think I relished my meal of ribs the best. After dinner
Darryl and I went for a nice
stroll along the river-bank, and admired the sunset.
