Up early and the manager brings us our breakfast to our room because the dining room isn't open on Sunday morning. Oatmeal and toast, the coffee leaves a lot to be desired. I'm glad I took my long johns and spencer off before we got going for the day. It's cool to start off but soon warms up and we ditch our neckies and gloves at morning tea and then our jackets after lunch, it feels good to have the sun on our skin again.
We have lunch in McBride and as we are finishing we see John and Terry pull into the service station across the road so we duck over to see them before heading off again.
The scenery today has changed as the day has progressed, at the start of the day it was quite flat with farmland. As the afternoon progresses the mountains return and the lakes and the snow it's just gorgeous. We see our first grizzly beside the road today and I got a bit of video of it. Just before we arrived in Jasper we were riding along and I noticed a waterfall right next to the road, not huge or spectacular but there. As we rode past it there was an artic blast of glacial air it was so cold and if we had had our jackets on we probably wouldn't have felt it. Jasper is so pretty and our accomodation is very comfy.
It's actually really warm this afternoon so we walk to dinner. We go to the Brewery in the main street. A six beer sampler and appetisers because we ate lunch fairly late. The bacon wrapped bacon lollipops are my favourite, calamari and chicken wings. Dinner was great especially the bacon lollipops with maple syrup mmmmmmm.
