Tour of my brother's kingdom
30December - 3January
Drumheller / Waterton / Enchant / Lethbridge
CANADA
Imagine this: 8am in Canada = 11pm in Manila = 6pm in Doha
My brother warned me that it would take about 3 days for me to get used to the time, meaning, mawala ang jetlag, so he said that a 5-day visit won't be sufficient and that I won't have enough time to adjust to the time difference. Ang sagot ko, "who cares?"
So yon nga ang nangyari, di inalintana ng aking mahal kapatid na ako'y pagod sa biyahe at malamang na gusto kong magpahinga bago man lang maglibot. We left Hoo Doo Motel at 8am and visited the Tyrrell Museum, a good 1 and a half hour drive, the morning after my arrival. Afterwards, we ate at A&W and mailed the documents for my brother's immigrant application.
Don planned to go skiing but I refused because of one reason: I was freezing.
Temperature was at 6degreesC then pero anlamig! Nag-snow kasi before I arrived. (Yes! May yelooooo!) Di lang ma-cover ang kamay ko ng 1 minute, namumula na. Grabe! So after ng trip sa Museum, we just went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for that night's dinner. My brother wanted to dine out pero again, kontrabida ako, sabi ko sa house na lang. Haha! (Di nila alam gusto ko lang ng kama!)
My brother, unbelievably, is a good cook. Maniwala kayo. Ansaaaaraaappp! ng niluto nya. Feeling ko nga nasa restaurant ako kumakain eh. Hehehe. (Love your own, no!)
The following day (31Dec), mall tour. Tapos nagyaya ulet ako umuwi for the same reason that we didn't go skiing: I was freezing. Haha. In fact, nung gabi na yon, the temperature was I think -11degreesC. O diba, below freezing point pa!
Then on January 1, dayoff! At last! I slept the whole time. Haha. Gumigising lang ako para kumain. Sarap ng buhay!
We went to Waterton Park on the last day of our tour. Yelo was natutunaw na nun so anlamig talaga. Tapos parang bumabagyo kasi humahangin. E medyo bundok pa naman yung pinuntahan namin so riot talaga. Haha! Nadulas pa 'ko! Antanga!
After ng Waterton, my brother wanted to go pa to ski (kulet!) pero the wind was really blowing hard na pati yung sasakyan ginagalaw nya. Buti na lang, di na kami tumuloy. Kasi...I was freezing. Hehehe.
Finally, we went home na rin after Waterton dahil we had to rest pa for the next day's trip back to Calgary where I'd be taking the flight to London then onto Doha.
