Alberta Road Trip, Canada. Day 3. Edmonton.

Day 3
(Link to Day 2)


On Day 3 We checked out from our Hotel at 0730 Hrs and started for Edmonton. The drive from Calgary to Edmonton was nothing much to write about, just endless grassy plains on both sides of the road. We reached Edmonton around 1200 Hrs and we directly headed to the West Edmonton Mall, which is sometimes called North America's Largest Mall.

We reached our Hotel in Edmonton, Hotel Days Inn, at 1500 Hrs and after taking a short break we went out for a stroll.





A cool breeze was blowing, the sky bore a serene tint of blue and the roads looked deserted. Perfect for a walk. At first we wandered around aimlessly going from one block to another. Around 1800 Hrs we decided to check out the Alberta Legislative Assembly Building. Its a beautiful building with Greek and Roman influences. It was built in 1913 in the Beaux Arts style. Surrounded by well maintained lawns all around it exudes a majestic charm.We walked around here and took in the view.



Around 1900 we went back to out Hotel and around 2000 Hrs we had dinner at Select Hotel. It was a delicious meal. After that refreshing meal we went for a drive around the city. We took a small tour of University of Alberta North Campus and by 2200 Hrs were back in our Hotel rooms.

(Note - This a deviation from my usual style of writing as its been almost 4 months since I went on this trip and I also have a backlog of posts to write. Hence keeping it short and brief.)
