Sept. 10th – Calgary, Banff<\/strong><\/p>\n

We went for some breakfast at McDonalds (McGriddle – a pancake-cheese-syrup type of thing, yummyyyy!!) and then called a cab to get to Cruise Canada<\/strong>. It was not far from Derek’s place. so he came along with us. The C25 we booked wasn’t available yet, if we wanted to leave right away we could get a C22 or C30… okaaaay….. C30 please!!:) That thing kicked ass!!!! With Derek we went to get groceries at Safeway and he borrowed us chairs… then we were ready to go on our way. WOOHOO!<\/p>\n

The driving went very well (Nico’s a natural \ud83d\ude09 ) and driving through the prairies and foothills (where we saw a fox) we saw the mountains (and the sun!) coming closer. Very exciting!! We arrived at Banff<\/strong> (Tunnel Mountain Campground) around 6 I believe (not sure) and after a cloudy day in Calgary we found some sun there in Banff! Nice welcome:) We made something to eat and had our first “dinner” at the picnic table (each site has its own picnic table). We walked around the campground a bit and did some reading and stuff in the motorhome (we had a site with electricity).<\/p>\n

Sept. 11th – Banff<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night and early in the morning it had been raining, but around 11 it cleared up a bit. We had decided to stay another night in Banff<\/strong> and relax a bit. We went to the Gondola to go up to Sulphur Mountain<\/strong>, even though the weather was still a bit unstable. Since we were in no hurry we stayed up there a while, but we didn’t get a real good view on the Banff area… until we were about to leave! Then it was suddenly all there… and it was so overwhelming I almost cried! We also saw the first ground squirrels there, they follow tourists everywhere. Back in town we looked up Double You<\/strong>, the internet cafe of Anneke (who I knew from a Dutch Canada forum) and Gerard where we are now typing this \ud83d\ude42 Tomorrow we’ll be going to Lake Louise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
