I arrived in Calgary from from Vancouver around mid-afternoon yesterday with a splitting head ache. I was in no mood for trying to work out a new public transport system so I took a taxi to the hotel, dropped off my bags and went and had lunch at a sandwich shop around the corner. When check-in time came I went back to the hotel had a cup of coffee (I've given up trying to make tea with a coffee maker) and crashed out.

This morning, feeling much better, I went and explored Calgary. And It's a decent city. Not what I thought though. The old Olympic park is someway out of town and, at this time of year, there's not to much to do.

The city centre's quite nice - much like Toronto's and Vancouver's (and Winnipeg's from what I saw of it) - lots of sky scrapers, a river, park and a revolving restaurant on a stick that looks a bit like the CN Tower.

Thinking about what to do tomorrow - my last day in Canada - I contemplated going to the Calgary Zoo, which is supposed to be pretty big, or rearranging my flights and going back to Toronto, but I decided to go back to The Rockies for the day, since they're just on the Horizon and I enjoyed Jasper so much. So I went down to the Greyhound station and bought a return ticket for the 07:15am bus to Banff.

That's the plan.
