Ladies weekend in Canmore

This was my first visit to beautiful Canmore, though we have driven through this area on our way to BC, it was so pretty, the mountains were right in your face everywhere you looked. In total there were 8 of us that stayed at the Drake Motel in Canmore, most stayed for 2 nights, but others just one, others came for the evening and drove home.

Canmore is about 60 minutes west of Calgary


The architecture is Swiss Mountain Village style

On a walk near the hotel by a river



Families of Ducks were skating on the ice






The main shopping streets were full of quaint rustic shops, cafes and Pubs





Our own inhouse hairstylist Mme Jill



Sun going down


Time for cocktails


At breakfast the next morning, we all felt a little odd


Guess who is the pink leapard and Elmo foot?




Jane and Jill

Shona, me and Bernie










Yes there are bears in Canmore, but they are still sleeping

A salad in a glass
Jacqui and I ate at this Pub I had striped, coloured pasta in a mushroom sauce, it was very tasty Shauna's Caeser look really fancy!

Tasty!
