Day 6 - Regina
This morning we took off from Banff and headed for Calgary. We drove around Calgary for a couple hours and checked it out when we realized that we better quit slackin' if we are going to make it to the East Coast with plenty of time to enjoy it. So we left the Rockies behind us and started a very flat journey towards Drumheller. We checked out the Tyrell Dinasoaur Museum which was pretty interesting and went in the giant T-Rex at the Tourist Centre. Beyond that we really didn't have much desire to stay so we just started driving. It didn't take us long to come to the consensus that the prairies are boring and kinda smelly so we didn't stop until 2am when we pulled into Regina. We'll crash here at a Motel for the night and take off for another long day of driving tomorrow, hopefully tackling most of the prairie drive, maybe we can take 2 or 3 corners in the next 10 hours of driving to provide some excitement. We enjoyed the scenery for a while but quickly realized that you shouldn't live in the prairies unless you really really really really like wheat and nothing else. We look forward to a good nights sleep and soon to see some trees again.
