Salmon Arm to Canmore, Canada
We had breakfast at the hotel in Salmon Arm
for its facility, although when we realized what the costs were going to be…
and given the lack of depth to the breakfast as pretty as it was – we could
have perhaps chosen better as we were facing a 400 km. drive.

Finally another rainy day (we had so few
that they were noteworthy!) – not necessarily a bad thing whilst on the road.

A
lunch stop at yet again the chain Boston Pizza where, par for the course, there
were more billing errors. We did so many because they had food to suit all
three of us, were quick, were reasonable and above all – in my book – had free
wi-fi, but every single one made some kind of error. Their staff has serious
financial challenges!
On our way to Canmore and our hotel for
three nights, we passed rivers, waterfalls, glaciers and more beautiful scenery
than even I could take photos of. A couple of stops – one to get the National
Park Pass – one to check out a tunnel built in a circle underneath the
mountains to compensate for the sharp rise in elevation: of course there were
Swiss consultants.

Arrived at our lovely accommodations in
Canmore: a three-bedroom suite located not far from the freeway exit and on the
outskirts of Canmore so quiet. Life here was good.
