We visited the beautiful Kurimoto and Aga Khan gardens at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden, making for a romantic date with a lovely picnic box from the Patio Cafe.
Our long awaited trip to Elk Island National Park was made when we watched the sun set over Archer Island, projecting beautiful colours in the sky and calm water. Though we didn’t spot any bison, we did see an owl chilling on the middle of the road after nightfall!
Discovering downtown by e-scooter from YEG Scoot was the most fun way to get acquainted with the city and it’s many bike paths and lanes! Our favourite parts were definitely riding downhill on the zig-zag path at River Valley Overlook, as well as on the wide Walterdale Bridge. We didn’t hesitate to put our scooters in ‘sport’ mode for that one!
Our stay would not have been the same without The Matrix Hotel. This place has some stunning rooms and suites, and the Platinum Suites on the top floor completely wow’ed us! Some hotels might offer complimentary breakfast, but do they give you an executive buffet breakfast? The Matrix does!
