For our next day, we booked a day trip to Lake Louise. We grabbed breakfast at the Chili’s restaurant inside our hotel, then packed our bags for the trip. Our tour bus picked us up outside the hotel shortly after. We were lucky it was a small group for our tour. It was exactly 10 people including our bus driver.

Even though we had looked up the opening times online, we realized soon after that Soupman only starts serving soup at 9:30 am. Hence the three of us ended up sitting with our cups of…
