Weekend in Alberta - Calgary & Banff

We decided to take a nice 6 hour drive over to Alberta for a our first weekend to see some friends and visit Calgary ( a major inland City).  
We spent a night at the Fairmont Hotel then two nights in Cochrane with friends Sam and Matt. 
On the Sunday we drove up to Banff where we are planning to spend the Winter. So beautiful

 At the top of the Gondala station there was a restaurant and above that there was a giant Compass that showed the directions to all the Capital cities in the world, at this point i was standing almost 19000 KMS from Canberra and just under 1000 KMS from Vancouver.
