Travelogues Calgary

Good morning Calgary. Today was a day to sleep in. After the long day yesterday and nothing but hockey today, that can be allowed 😊 Here at the hotel, we have breakfast...

Wedding, packing stress, breathing in Canadian air, admiring cowboy boots and the big city.

Here we go! Our first flight and the first days on the road.

Sleeping in was the only item on our list today. Jörg was the first to go to breakfast, followed by me and at some point Andi also arrived. Everything is very relaxed. From...

Today we're going to the Stampede in Calgary. Our shuttle starts from the campsite at 11:15. An orange school bus, just like in the American movies. Since we're the last ones...

I remembered that no date had been mentioned for a while. Arrival in Calgary was on November 15th and was planned until November 20th. This means you can settle in somewhat...

The next few days passed more or less slowly, as we had to do rather boring work: this included painting, cleaning the stables, and sweeping the halls. Everything to make the...

After yesterday's relaxing day, we hit the road again early today. This time we only had about 100 km to cover: from Canmore to Calgary. Under a bright blue sky with a fantastic...

Today I left the Rocky Mountains behind. The closer I got to Calgary, the smaller the mountains became in the rearview mirror and the hotter it got. Today was by far the hottest...

15.02.2018 Today is our last day in Canada and we have to say goodbye to the Canadian winter and snow. The alarm clock doesn't ring until 08:30 and when we open the blinds, the...

So, where to begin? As I’m writing this, we’re in Canada for over a week now and so much happened! It was the week of firsts. 1st time so far away and outside Europe (at least...

The 9th stop of my journey, Calgary in Alberta, was reached on Sunday noon. It is the fourth largest city in Canada. Even though many portals state that the city is not...

Today I took the bus to Downtown. However, first I had to exchange a $5 bill for coins, as you can only pay the exact amount on the bus. After about half an hour of driving, the...

We spontaneously decided to visit the Calgary Zoo, even though we knew it would be quite crowded on Sunday. For breakfast, Martin had organized baked goods from Tim Hortons from...

So it's time for another update. My flights went smoothly, although I had to hurry at London Heathrow as I had only one hour to transfer. To make matters worse, I had to unpack...

On September 25th, 2023, thanks to a little tailwind, we landed at the airport in Calgary at 11:15 a.m. local time after around 9 hours of flight. From there we drove our rental...

Today we were up early. The girls were awake for the first time in the night around 1am and at 4:45am, before sunrise, everyone was awake ;-) We had breakfast at Tim Hortons...

Peace Bridge, Calgary

On the 16th we started very early, and there was a flight to Calgary on the 7th and there was no public transport to get to the airport. In Calgary, it hasn't been shown how...

Wow, how quickly three weeks can pass. I spent the last two days in Calgary because my return flight departs from here later. During these two days, I visited the zoo, went on a...

On time with rain we went from Aschaffenburg to Frankfurt to myParken to park our car. With a transfer to the airport, we were there super early at 10 o'clock. The flight was...

With a slight delay, the flight took off. The route took us via France, England, Scotland and Iceland, over Greenland and then to Canada. We had an incredible view of Greenland...
