We took the Greyhound bus from Vancouver to Jasper. Took about 9 hours, but it was a scenic drive :)
I have been to Banff before, so when we arrived at the bus station in the middle of town, i was like ... this is the town of Jasper?!? its a really really really small town. there's no need for a map of the town really hahaha XDDDD
We took the cab to the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge where we would be staying. It was a good thing that we decided not to walk, because it would have been a VERY far walk! the lodge is situated inside the Jasper National Park itself! the only way to town is to take the cab, or pay $5 one-way for the Sundog bus.
As we arrived pretty late in the evening, we decided to just order room service and hole in our room. we even requested for a dvd player, so it was like a dine-in movies night *thumbs up*
The room service turned out to be pretty cheap... then we realised that we ordered from the children's menu HAHA! but the portion turned out to be just nice for us, enough to feed one adult.
I ordered the Meatball Spaghetti, and it was awesome!! YUMZ!! We also ordered 3 Shirley Temple Mocktails (the pink drink in the background) and it was only CAD$3.00!!
Mum ordered the Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Fries (sorry about the half-eaten sandwich, mum was too hungry haha)
Sis ordered her favourite Macaroni and Cheese
And they gave us these super cute ketchup bottles which i brought back home HAHA
The lodge room was huge and very cosy. And there were many sightings of deer and elk around the lodge, even right outside our room!
