Calgary. Vancouver bound

Ah, Calgary. I'm sure this city has way more to offer than we found, though this was our place of rest before heading back to Vancouver for the big trip tomorrow.

This was a seedy part of town.

Our accommodation (Sandman Signature ) was pleasant enough. Though yet another instance of booking a room with disabled access not available.

The only disabled room in this complex. Sold to someone else. We take the alternative slightly larger corner room. No disabled amenities. An additional room is needed as a sofa bed the only option for me.

But. A room without grab rails. Larger / self opening doorways. Showers with graded floors. Needed for disabled access. Not steps. Or shower baths. This means a physical lift over a step to access a shower.

The physical lifting to support all ADLs takes its toll. Lifting a 60kg human body is tough. Dad and I. Well. Lucky we eat our Vegemite daily.

Calgary. Not so much. Attached is the only image I felt remotely inspired to take in our 2 days there.

Vancouver bound. How I have missed thee 🥰Read more
