We have arrived in Calgary!

We made it! We arrived in Calgary at 4.45pm after an excellent flight with Air Canada. We were a bit worried about immigration... They mostly ask difficult and annoying questions but not this time! Everything went smoothly and at 5.10pm we were officialy landed immigrants. Next step was getting through customs. And guess what, no problems at all! They didn't even search our bags. Luckily we had a very detailed list of the items we were bringing with us and items that will arrive later and the "custom lady"was happy.

Once we got out of the custom zone Nicole and Chris were waiting for us. What a surprise! Picking up the rental car was pretty funny. We reserved a car via the internet, we got a chevy impala but the keys didn't match with the car. So we ended up with a Dodge Caliber. Well actually we were allowed the choose another car and since we want to buy a Caliber we decided really quickly. No more testdrive for us!

We followed Chris & Nicole to their home but got stuck before a red traffic light. We didn't find them anymore but we are already real Calgarians and drove blindly to their house. And no, we have been there only once and there wasn't even a street.

Chris made us some excellent diner. Olli got his Alberta beef and was happy :)

Today we went to the bank to arrange new bank accounts, we got our social insurance number and explored all the good shops in Calgary. ( more about that later)

Oh, we forgot to mention a big thank you to Chris & Nicole. They arranged their basement for us. We have a tv-corner with sofa and accesories. We have a huge bed, closet,...

And today we received flowers from Belgium! Well, the flowers were canadian but the sender is Belgian. Thank you Yves & An for the beautiful flowers! And by the way Yves, happy birthday!!!
