We had a nice slow start – meeting up with a friend of mine from Calgary, for a very impressive Sunday brunch in Banff, followed by a wander round the town, down to the Bow River, up to the Chateau – and finally a very welcome cup of tea.

After a brief respite in the hotel, we headed first for dinner (in the same place as we’d had brunch), then to the Hot Springs. A very restful day!
