An afternoon at the Canadian Lakes.

Really glad to be able to chill at my hotel this morning...tho did wander to the nearby Shell garage to buy milk ,an egg sandwich and of course a kitkat
The tour bus picked us up at the hotel next to mine...we were going to Lake Moraine and lake louise
Lake Louise is on the shore of the famous Fairmont Hotel. I went in for a drink ....singularly the most unfriendly hotel...no access to toilets ,nowhere to sit for a drink and people actively being sent out of the building into the rain
Lots of exclusive guest only area signs ..miserable lot!
They'd do well to make a fully functional cafe with toilet facilities for the non guests ...because it was heavingly busy .
Both lakes are absolutely beautiful .At Lake Moraine the guide highly reccomended we climb up to a vantage view point ,but it was raining, cloudy and I was tired. He couldn't quite believe id not be doing the climb 😅
Once we were back in Banff I wandered into the centre primarily to find the bus depot for the company taking me to Calgary airport on 30th June.
The weather was warm and I came across the Catholic church which had 2 benches outside with a view of the mountains so I sat there for a while...Mum however would have been more impressed if id gone inside the Church ,but it was locked!
Stumbled across a small shopping mall which had a shop called the Spaghetti Factory .I wandered in and had an excellent meal with a glass of Malbec. Portions were huge an resulted in my taking the rest in a doggy bag..
I had a nice wander back to my hotel, good job ,too as needed to walk off my meal.Read more
