One trusty motorcycle and a great big desire to see this great big country!

Days 6 to 8 - R&R in Calgary, Alberta

Lots of rest and relaxation during my first full day in Calgary. The second day saw me attending to motorcycle maintenance matters, while on day three I went for a long walk on a beautiful day which took me to many places, including to the top of the Calgary Tower. The tower was built in 1967 to celebrate Canada's Centenial. A gas-fired cauldron was added to the top in recognition of the 1988 Winter Olympics, which were held in Calgary. The tower is 191 metres high (627 feet).
