Leaving Calgary and arriving in Victoria

I took a short walk to Chinatown and then back to the hostel along the Bow River in order to get a few more impressions of Calgary this morning. I didn't have too much time, though, since I had to check out before 11 AM. In general I liked Calgary but I felt like there were just too many construction sites all over the city.

While going to the airport by bus, I could see the Rockies in the background behind Calgary. At first I was surprised by that as I hadn't seen any mountains when I arrived here. Then I reasoned that this was due to the sky being so grey and cloudy that day - the white mountains hadn't been able to stand out that way.
The Calgary airport is a lot bigger and harder to navigate than the Victoria airport. I also had to wait a lot longer for the security check. But that was ok since I had been at the airport very early anyway.
I tried a Chicken sandwich from Tim Hortons for lunch and it was actually quite good.

The guy sitting next to me on the plane introduced himself with 'Hi, I'm your next door neighbour, David'. He immediately loved my response that there was no door between us. We chatted during the whole flight, which was really nice. He was originally from the Caribbean but had been living here in Canada for 50 years. By now he had a huge family with 16 grandchildren and he loved Canada just like me.

 The plane landed just past 2 PM. I loved being back in Victoria. Especially the slightly salty smell of the air was just amazing.
The bus ride home was quite long but I was used to that by now. Since I also picked up some groceries on the way home, it was past 5 PM when I arrived.
At home I did my laundry, took a shower, unpacked, and cooked some healthy dinner. I then spent the evening watching 'Suits' with Katrina.
