Day 4 - A Day in Banff

After three long days on the road we had a welcome break in Banff. We got up late, ate bacon butties (bacon sandwiches) and drank lots of tea. We drove into the town and had a brief look at The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, a veritable castle, and then went down to see the Bow Falls. People were taking rafting tours, horse riding, playing golf but since we are on such a tight budget we parked our car at the end of the golf course and ate our broccoli salad lunch over by the wastewater treatment plant.

Banff, Alberta

Later on we went for a mountain bike ride around our campsite. The kids are now listening to Storynory (children’s story podcasts on iTunes) while I write the events of the day. It's 10:20pm and only just starting to get dark.

The weather is still a bit rainy but not too bad. We are ready for summer to arrive. The first day of summer and the longest day of the year is just a couple of days away.
Tomorrow morning we are off to Drumheller.
