Calgary

Our first stop was Calgary to buy a car for the next 4 months. We were lucky that Chris and Tash offered to put us up.

Downtown Calgary



We went to Tubby Dog for dinner one night before we headed to Banff, they had no Chili that night, so we both ordered an A-Bomb Hotdog. It had cheese, bacon, mustard, mayo, ketchup and potato chips (i.e crisps). Interesting combination. Dont think we will be frequenting Tubby Dog. Might try Peters' Drive-in next time.

The Chinese Cultural centre in Calgary's China Town.

Olympic Plaza

We also went to watch Chris' Hockey Team, The Hobos play, unfortunately, that night they didn't have a win. Chris however, scored twice.

Sean starts testing all the Canadian Beers, starts safely with a Thirst Aid Kit.



Chris took us to Cross Iron Mills Shopping Centre, which is home to Bass Outdoor Pro Shop, as the sign says, it is Canada's Great Outdoor Store.

Inside the store are soooooo many stuffed animals, from wolves to moose to polar bear, it is crazy!



Finally we got our car sorted, a 2002 Subaru Outback.

And then headed off into the sunset to Banff!
