Friday was another really warm and sunny day in Edmonton. After breakfast at the hotel Martin and Kay, Ann and Harry and Iain and Marjory went off to the West Edmonton Mall where they saw a huge indoor beach, pirate ship and loads of shops, pics to follow.
Rod and Luisa took the tram car over the river to Strathcona, then took the train to South Campus and a bus out to Fort Edmonton. This is a super park with streets reconstructed with buildings from periods over the last 150 years right back to the fur trading posts. There were steam trains and street cars, a very interesting place which will require another visit to give it justice.
Martin and Kay found their way out to the Fort by late afternoon by which time the Fort was near to closing time.
Back at the hotel Jim had arrived after spending a couple of days with friends in the south. Keith and Pauline arrived at tea time and all were now arrived.
Martin had called a meet prior to dinner an advised that the hosts would be at the hotel at 9.30 in the morning.
After drinks in the bar we moved up to the 24th floor to the revolving restaurant. Here we were looked after by Jason and a fine chef in the kitchen. A memorable meal was had by all with little room left for dessert and good panoramic views over the city..

Pleased everyone has arrived safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteOne thing though - you have been in Canada two days now and no mention of maple syrup -how can that be? I also seem to recall a rather passable Canadian beer called Labatts.
