I found it really interesting that we could fly for 4 hours and still be in the same country... We flew from west to east and ended up in Toronto on a clear quiet evening.

Another fantastic Airbnb

First meal just across the road, cause it was getting late

Very good Japanese

The next day we headed for our Niagara Falls tour! This was really fun / eye-opening. Transport was provided for from CN Tower and its about an hour's drive to Niagara.

After visiting Niagara, we headed back to Toronto - visited the Suits building!

Also the building where Johnny and Stevie made their motel pitch in Schitt's Creek

Hotpot always welcome :)

The next day we explored Toronto and then ended off with a special dinner, to mark our last day in Canada after 2 weeks!

Atop the CN tower for dinner

Goodbye Canada, for now!

After Vancouver, we headed to our 10-day adventure in the Canadian Rockies - we spent 3 nights each in Banff, then Jasper, then Canmore.

Pizza takeaway for our first meal

We landed a little late, picked up the rental car, and spent about 1-2 hours driving to Banff from Calgary Airport. The roads are pitch black :O

26/4 - Banff Gondola, Wild Flour Bakery (for soup and sandwiches), gin distillery and tasting tour, dinner. Very very nice to see snow (unexpected!)

27/4 - The Frozen Lake Louise, Trailhead Cafe, Johnson Lake, dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory

Johnson Lake was a personal favourite of mine - it was really quiet and beautiful, lake was still half frozen. We walked a full round, which was very manageable. There were very few people around but whenever we ran into other hikers, they would be quick to say 'good day' with a friendly smile :)

28/4 - Johnston Canyon, Peyto Lake, drive to Jasper, Korean House!
