17th May 2003 - Drumheller to Nordegg

9:30am: The Royal Tyrrel Museum has audio guides available in several different languages. The lady at the counter recognises our accents and tells us that last week she asked a New Zealand couple if they wanted theirs in English!

11:30am: After leaving the museum we decide to follow the Dinosaur Trail for a while, crossing the Red Deer River on the Bleriot Ferry.

5:30pm: We needed to be at our accommodation, Aurum Lodge near Nordegg, early tonight because dinner (with the family who run the lodge) is at 6:15pm. While we're eating dinner it starts snowing, and continues on and off for a few hours. A lone hummingbird visits (there's a feeder just outside) but it's not close enough for the digital camera so you'll have to wait until we get home to see it.
