We have arrived in Banff. We are staying at the Banff Springs Hotel<\/b><\/i>. We have a very nice executive suite with a living room, bedroom and amazing wilderness views of the mountain valley.\u00a0<\/div>\n
All is gorgeous and a little chilly! Highs of only +2 \u00a0oC. When we walked into town for breakfast yesterday it was -3 \u00a0oC and there was a wind. We are not used to the cold yet.\u00a0<\/div>\n
The mountain views are unbelievably majestic and well worth the chilly temps. The mountains have snow on top but there is none on the ground. We saw 3 coyotes running through town on our first night here. They seem to be very populous inside the town area.<\/div>\n
I have (most unfortunately) caught Pip’s virus. A cold type: sore throat, chills, headache. I am doing my best to keep going however, what I need is the week in bed! However, the restaurants at the hotel are very expensively priced. Breakfast for a child is at least $25. So, we hike to town to eat. Last night though, I was too tired to go anywhere and we ordered room service. Mistaya was most impressed as it arrived on a large, elegant rolling table with all tall wineglasses filled with ice water for the girls.\u00a0<\/div>\n
The outdoor pool is the best: hot, steamy with crisp mountain views.<\/div>\n
Yesterday we toured the Hotel with a guide (the famous Dave) and learned a few ghost stories. We also toured the town and swam at the hotel.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Today, I believe I will haul myself out into the cold to walk with the girls to the museum and for breakfast at \u00a0Phil’s, and a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>swim in the outdoor pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
It is nice that TV is real novelty for the girls. We don’t have TV at home, so to have cable in hotel provided the girls with a treat so I can rest. Although, Tabs wants to try the Fairmont Kid’s Club at the hotel today. I’ll have to call and find out about that.<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Finding it hard to do my research study, I am so tired with this virus! But I am chugging along slowly.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Taking it easy this trip. No heroic hikes and it is too early to ski or skate. Leisurely walks around the hotel and into town, swimming and a little historical site touring is about what I’m up for.<\/div>\n
