So breakfast at the Blue Mountain Lodge went down a treat and with the sun still shining, we headed off in search of as many touristy sights as we could manage in the next 6 hours (or so!)...
First stop was the Gondola ride to the top of Mount Sulphar. Once at the top we got 360 views of all the surrounding mountains. There was a very icy walkway across to the actual summit, where apparently somebody used to live until he died... don't think it was from vertigo.
Back down the cable car.. sorry Gondola (no cornetto for sale). we headed off to view another large lake, two jacks lake and cascade pond then to Bow Falls and finally a drive through the local golf course, where we saw a group of Moose posing for any cameras that wanted to be pointed in their direction.
The amazing thing about the golf course was that nobody seemed to walk. They all had little buggys and not only that there were other buggys that had drinks and sweets on them for the golfers to purchase as they went from tee to tee. It seemed like there was a drive thru culture evolving here?
We've returned to the lodgings as the sun has now disappeared and perhaps a chance of a shower later. Interesting observation is that most young teenagers are using skateboards as their favourde mode of transport... and they rumble passed our bedroom window with frequent occurrence.
It will be time to move on tomorrow morning and head to Kamloops via Lake Louise.
