Travel from a 14 year old's perspective.
Exploring and Mo Ho's
June 1, Monday 2009 DAY 3
Last night, the place we stayed at was a historical site. Where the last spike was put on the Canada railroad. The only thing about this though, was that there were LOTS of loud trains passing and we were right by the highway, so the lighter sleepers (me and my mom) got to enjoy lots of noise in the night.
After filling the “Mo Ho” up with gas, we went somewhere called The Enchanted Forest. It was so cool! The first thing you saw was a big castle that had a dungeon and a look-out tower. It was really cool!
After that, it seemed like you had gone to a completely different land. A land of fairy tales and nursery rhymes. There were these little house that you could look at and explore and even go inside!
There were the houses from those belonging to the three little pigs and even the little old woman who lived in a shoe. There was all kinds of clay houses and tree houses. What made it so real though, was that you could walk in, among and around these masterpices. There were also the cute figurines scattered through the forest. One of my favorites was the pied piper and his rats, as well as the seven dwarves. There was not one nursery rhyme or fairy tale this magical place forgot.
Also, attached to this was a zipline park. So the two younger boys (Orin and Eli) were able to go on the kid “Skytrek Adventure” and they had a lot of fun. Eli made us laugh a few times though while he tried making his way through.
After this stop, we moved on to Banff and enjoyed wandering around this little town and in and out of shops. After about half an hour, we treated ourselves to some take out pizza that we ate on our way to Calgary where we are now going to stay the night at our relatives' to rest up for our day in Drumheller tomorrow. No more trains this time!
