Too early for the stampede unfortunately! A good drive from Banff today- leaving the Rockies behind and travelling through countryside that could be found in NZ. Very pastoral at times and we all thought it looked like home (Mark, Gill, Chris).
The highways were mainly long and straight for kms- speed limit mostly 110km. Lots of warning signs again for elk but fortunately for us we did not meet them on the highway! We had an interesting little excursion through the suburbs following Google directions which turned out to be to a similar sounding location but miles away from where we were meant to be! Chris had us out on a shopping spree for him post arrival – new shoes and essentials he needed! The weather here is ok but considerably cooler – the brochure says it can be “rather unpleasant” and the city has an interesting “Plus 15” walkway system through numerous building links at first floor level – accessibilty to shops, malls etc without getting wet.
Early start tomorrow as we part company again – sob, and catch planes in different directions – Mark and I to Toronto and Chris back to Whistler via Vancouver.

Nice to read your news as you progress. I am sure you will be welcome back again to see Chris another time, if you are likely to shower gifts on him again. Mum and Dad’s(Ray and Lyn’s) 55th wedding anniversary today – they are going out to dinner in Takapuna tonight with friends. David.
