The Morning After: Jet Lag

 Flight went well, arrived 30mins early and the pilot came and talked to us as mum knows someone who knows someone etc he was very lovely. Also we met a very sweet, kind and well informed couple on the flight. The man was canadian and grew up in a place called Longview just an hour detour on the route from Calgary to Lake Louise which is apparently incredibly beautiful and quaint. They recommended lots of places to go to in Calgary and some accommodation suggestions also. Quite a few of them we happened to have been booked into already! Lucky us.

So, It's our 1st morning here and already the first change to our itinerary. Typical. We originally booked a Dodge Caliber{with the subtitle or similar} thinking that it was like a small SUV, oops. Leaving us with a Ford Focus... :/
But, we did manage to change cars to a Ford Escape. Pretty lush and has iPod connection, the ultimate necessity.

Later on we found ourselves wandering around Calgary trying to find one of the recommendations by the flight couple, Wicked Wedge Pizzeria on 17th SW Avenue. We guessed that most of the places on this street were closed or in reconstruction due to the floods as it was pretty run down. So we got the train back to downtown Calgary an walked around a bit.

The first thing I noticed when arriving in Canada is the lack of people.
It's insane! It's empty!
Being in the middle of a city on a 'high street' with only 4 other people surrounding you... Weird.

But yeah, so we just got back from a Neapolitan Pizzeria having shared a Pizza and Salad for some dinner, was delicious and the people are just so lovely! Everyone here has just been so kind, polite and friendly. And talkative may I add..

Anyway. We are a bit sleepy now so will pop off to bed and add the photos tomorrow.

OOPS I forgot to mention that we went inside a mall which on the top floor had gardens, indoors! So the flowery photos were in there, we also managed to grab a frozen yoghurt on the way back. In peach flavour may I add, which was delish!
