Bathing in Banff

Our last day in the Rockies, in four days we hit Mexico City. That's pretty nuts given our current view at this moment.

The 365 weather forecast for Banff thermal pools is 39c. So for our last throw of the Rockie dice we dived into this hot steamy pool.  Yep true to form the heat at these restored 1930s heritage baths was pretty intense,  even with an air temperature of single figures.  This naturally heated outdoor spring fed pool was hot, hot, hot. As the Banff gondola whizzed away in the distance we enjoyed views of the, still heavily laden with the the white stuff, Mount Rundle. This kind of afternoon mucho required after a marathon 4 1/2 hour internet cafe sess where it seemed every man and his dog were online and well up for a skype catch-up.

Back at poolside - Thursday seemed to be "school outing day". But you must remember these aren't your average kids. These are Canadian kids, the next generation of the most politest people on earth. Fashions aside, no dramas here, naturally. We come to expect nothing else but.
