Edmonten

Edmonton, the Capital of Alberta, was a positive surprise. After traveling thousands of miles through the plains, we enjoyed high live in Edmonton. 

In the Historical Village we got an impression of Edmonton of how it looked like around 1900. In this museum they rebuilt houses that were located in the center of the town at this time. First you take the historical train which takes you to old Fort Edmonton. A old street leads you through Edmonton of  1885, 1895 and 1910. In the houses you can talk to actors that tell you about life at that time and the meaning of all the requisites in the house.

At the beginning of September there is a cool street festival in Old Stratcona. In this part of Edmonton you can find the pubs and discotheques where the students go to. We enjoyed several street performances and plays. We could really the vibrations send out by students life in Edmonton - great.

Calgary

Compared to Edmonton, Calgary seemed to be a boring town. We tried hard to find the places where the students party and have a drink at night. The town center is mostly occupied by skyscrapers, bank buildings, shopping malls and fast food restaurants. I was a bit disappointed because I had expected a more exciting town, in which the Olympic Winter Games have taken place!

Badlands

We took the chance to visit the badlands, which are situated 150km east of Calgary. As you can see on the pictures, the landscape of the Badlands is impressive. Erosion has created scurrile forms from the sandy ground.

When traveling through the Badlands the Royall Tyrell Museum in Drumheller is worth a visit. You cannot miss it because if you are within 150km distance from Drumheller signs will lead you to the museum. Just from this fact you can imagine what an extraordinary attraction the museum must be! In the museum they show fossils that were found in the Badlands, especially bones of dinosaurs. The Badlands belong to the richest sources of dinosaur findings in the world. The exhibit provides interesting background information on earth's history.
