Calgary Tower

We delivered our last load at 6am in a freezing blowy snowstorm on Saturday morning with Mick full of cold, and then decided to take our reset in a hotel, which is quite expensive but would hopefully give him chance to shake off the bug.

So first thing this morning we set off to walk two miles into town (he said the -17 cold air would kill all the cold bugs) and had a nice visit to the Calgary Tower.
The hotel must be in a seedy part of town because we were surrounded by down and outs and beggars as soon as we started our walk!






The views from the tower were worth the ticket price (12.95) and they also allow you a return visit on the same day, which we intended doing at dusk for some more pictures, unfortunately Mick is still laid up and we have to work early tomorrow, so, maybe next time eh!

Hi Mick and Barbara, sorry for not answering quicker, no internet for a week. If you are in the Lodge over the next few weeks we might see you. What is your surname, as we can ask at the lodge what room you are in and we can give you a call when we are there.
Have a safe trip, see you soon
Cath
