August 2019
With only a few days to explore Edmonton, after my beach swim at Devonshire, I spent one afternoon strolling along the downtown shops and even discovered that donairs are popular here too, not just in Nova Scotia.
As I made my way back to my hotel, I stopped into the local aircraft museum.
The next day, was cloudy and overcast, so I hopped into my SUV and decided to get my steps in at West Edmonton Mall….well then, I certainly got my steps in!!! This complex is MASSIVE. I could not have fathomed previously just how huge this place was – a full swimming/wave pool, complete with water slides, the movie theatre, on the second level, with at least 6 different screens, the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co restaurant ( Forrest Gump fame) and of course, the PIRATE Ship!!! right smack dab in the middle of the mall.
Now I’d seen everything! I picked up some souvenirs for the kids, stopped for a coffee and cinnamon bun and left the mall.
I also discovered a local community centre near by with public swimming, so I stopped in, paid $10 and enjoyed a refreshing, leisurely swim to give my tired feet a break.
Tomorrow I would head home, courtesy of Westjet Airlines.
Another beach done, along with a short interesting exploration of another beautiful province, Alberta.
Thank you for reading and letting me share.
