Days 19 & 20
We passed, on the group tour today since we saw Drumheller on the way into Calgary; so, instead we had a leisurely morning, then joined 3 other couples and went to visit the Chinook Honey Farm in Okotoks (just south of Calgary). Art the beekeeper has a 300 hive operation, which is a very very small operation for the west, He gave us the deluxe tour, I think the others enjoyed it as much as it did. They also have a Meadery (that's a winery that makes wine from honey); the tasting was fun, we bought a few.
The bus tour today went from 8 am to 6 pm. We stopped in Banff, went up the Sulphur Mtn gondola (the mountain aromas reminded both of us of hiking at Snowbird); went to Morraine Lake; which is very near to Lake Louise and is famous for the picture on the back of the old $20 bill. It rained at Lake Louise, so the pictures suck. The hotel has changed so much from when we were here last.
Brings back memories for us.....
ReplyDeleteYou can bring back the memories too, but make sure that you bring back some mead too! If there is any left I'd like to try some.
