Day 34 Tuesday 27 June 2017


Today we did different activities in the morning. I went on Bow River float where I saw an elk (possibly), two Harlequin ducks and an osprey.  Elizabeth went on a nature walk which was both peaceful and informative, during which she saw a ground squirrel, a robin and lots of mosquitoes.
 This is out hotel. Not too shabby.


 An elk?




After returning to the hotel we went into Banff and visited the Parks information Centre. It was restored in the original design of local architecture meets Victorian taxidermy. For a small space they did a remarkable job to fit in as many exhibits as possible.





Next on our list was the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum. This is presented as a stockaded fort. It was a suprisingly interesting place which informative exhibits and it had excellent virtual reality technology where it seemed like you were amongst a herd of bison and it seemed like you just reach out and touch them.




Elizabeth bought a cashew Log from the Fudgery.  An amazing store and you put on weight on by just walking in.


Tonight we went to the Waldhaus restaurant. Both Elizabeth and I had a Cornish game hen that was emu sized – too big but cooked to perfection.
