Home.
There is just too much packing to be getting on with.
It’s not like throwing it all in the Motorhome and going, I have to think about what to take. Not used to this at all.

Holiday Express Heathrow
June 14, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Nice uneventful drive from home to the hotel but not quite as good upon arriving here..
Room was not available when we arrived and that was eight o’clock in the evening. Two free beers sorted that out.
Then our electronic door key would not work. Four trips to the reception convinced them I was telling the truth.
I now know that the locks have batteries in them 🤷🏼‍♂️Read more

Day 2
Downtown Toronto
June 15, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Ok so after a long flight we have arrived in Toronto and made our way to the hotel. Tired and needing a freshen up so it came as a bit of a surprise to discover that we had no reservation. Hotel staff went into help mode and soon discovered that our reservation was for 2022 and not this year 2023. It seems we have arrived a year late (this is going to take some sorting out). Two more beers required, this time they came in a iced glass.Read more

Hop on Hop off
June 16, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
After we managed to get a room for the night we both thought that a bit of Site Seeing was called for so we headed for the Hop on Hop off sight seeing bus with a plan to hop off at the CN tower. Grabbed a few photos while winding our way through the busy streets of Toronto and listening to the informative guide.Read more

CN Tower

Hopped off the bus and straight up the tower.
Fabulous views of the city. Spotted far below us what appeared to be a train carriage so that needed investigating and sure enough there is a train museum at the base of the tower which turned out to be well worth a look.Read more

Day 4
Niagra Falls
June 17, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
How many different superlatives can you use for the attraction Niagara Falls?
Fantastic, Incredible or just Wow 😮 they all fit and of course wet (if you happen to be standing at the outer edge of the boat).
We had the luxury of bright sunshine to dry us out quickly but as our guide pointed out “ you should have brought some dry socks”.Read more

It’s time to catch the plane for Calgary where the transfer to Banff awaits.

Day 6
Banff
June 19, 2023 in Canada ⋅ 🌧 1 °C
We have now arrived at the Canalta Lodge in Banff without incident so the beer is out the window and let’s celebrate with 🍸.
Banff is expensive, even the hotel literature tells you it’s going to be! But two Eddie burgers and two of his trash can cocktails totalled over hundred dollars. 😮 just to much money Eddie. Not going to do that again.
The weather at this time is wet and cold but with the town being the highest in Canada and surrounded by mountains you have to expect changeable climats.
One local told us they call this “Juneuary”.Read more

Sulphur Mountain

Managed to get a few photos on the way to Sulphur Mountain including a young Elk grazing by the roadside.
Weather is closing in around the mountain and we quickly discovered that it was snowing as well. After reaching the summit we encountered our first bear up close.Read more
