This was to be a much easier day starting with an 8.00am breakfast and then just a morning bus trip in the Banff area. First stop was to Sulphur Mountain and a ride in a Gondola up to almost 7500ft. With just 4 of us in the Gondola Gaye was a bit apprehensive but we made it to the top in just 8 minutes. The view from the top was spectacular but it was very cold and had been snowing. Our next hour or so was spent in Banff where we saw the Bow River Waterfall and the Banff Springs Hotel. This is a town of 10,000 people and there are strict controls in who can live here in that you have to have a job in Banff before you can buy a house here.
Our afternoon is free so we will make use of the Hotel Spa before going out to dinner and a show tonight.
