Banff in the Rain

Bother!  The rain caught up with us. And it is cold too, about 10 deg.  The mountains are shrouded in mist.  On the bright side: we saw moose in the field next to our hotel.  And it is some kind of hotel!!!  It’s a tourist attraction in itself - coaches park at the other side of the valley for photo opportunities!  The Fairmont Banff Springs is huge - and I mean absolutely huge.  We were issued with a map with our door key: entitled the “Key to the Castle”.   This evening we even had to catch a shuttle bus to one of their restaurants.  Mainly because of the rain, an the only other means of access is an external path to it which includes a long staircase down the hillside.  It’s actually their own German style pub, with fine dining too.

Fingers crossed the rain eases tomorrow.
