Calgary

Our trip back to the UK involved flights from and back to Calgary. We had an overnight stay in the city on the return leg and a look round before heading back to Radium on the Greyhound coach via Banff.


During the day it was a busy city with traffic and people in the downtown area - quite a contrast to the evening before when most streets were deserted with the exception of one stretch of about 200m where all the major pubs and restraunts were located.


This is the view from our hotel balcony.

One of the green spaces surrounded by skyscrappers in the downtown area.

The Calgary Tower is not particularly tall at 191m (627ft) but walking on the plate glass floor is still un-nerving.

Elaine put her toes on and that was the limit although she did ask if my life insurance was fully paid up!
