Naushad wanted to be back in Calgary before 1:00pm (to play soccer), so after breakfast and a few photos with Jannifer, we headed away from north Edmonton, down through the city, including skirting China Town, and across the North Saskatchewan River (see photo), and onto Highway 2 south and out of town. We passed Edmonton International Airport, which is quite a way south of the city, near the town of Leduc, and continued on towards Red Deer. There are deer warning signs all along this stretch of highway and we spotted two that were victims of road vehicles before we got to Red Deer. There appears to be less road kill here than in New Zealand, apart from deer (have seen three in the 4,000 km we have driven) and the odd gopher.
Red Deer is the major refreshment stop between the two cities (Calgary and Edmonton), and employing the GPS again, we found the southbound Tim Horton’s and I joined the queue to order coffee. Took about 15 minutes! These are popular shops, often sharing the same building as Wendys.
We continued southbound finally arriving in north east Calgary about 12:30pm, too late for Naushad to get to the first game of soccer, but he would make the second game. Naushad, along with the three boys play for Rewa in the local Sunday Fiji league.
The afternoon was spent relaxing and the day was finished off with another kava session, initially sitting outside, but then moving to the garage when the temperature dropped.
