We left Jasper in the morning after a relaxing breakfast at the Forest Park hotel. If we were to stay in Jasper again, we should probably pick a weekday instead of a weekend. The prices of the hotels during the weekend is doubled. In hindsight this is probably obvious, but our schedule just happens to land us in Banff and Jasper on the weekend. Most of the stores close after Thanksgiving, and the scenic highway 93 from Banff to Jasper also closes as it becomes harder to maintain during the winter storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After about 50km East of Jasper we left the Jasper National Park. It is phenomenal that when we left the park, so did the picturesque view of the mountains, and the skies become dominant again on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was not a long drive. We left Jasper at around 10:30am, and we got to Edmonton at about 2:30pm. We charged in a small town called Edson<\/a>. We took the extra time to visit West Edmonton Mall and just so happened to frequent an Apple Store and picked up their last iPhone 15 Pro in inventory. What luck! Also being in Alberta we pay less HST, 9% less than Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found 100\u00b0C Tea House Cafe<\/a>, and I was dying for some Chinese food, not as good as Toronto, but beggars cannot be choosers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checked into Sandman Signature Sherwood Park Hotel by the Suncor refinery. Best hotel for the buck yet. Tomorrow we drive to Regina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carol’s video of the day is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
