We left Heathrow in the mid-afternoon, rising into clouds within a couple of hundred feet of takeoff, and then spent most of the journey flying through this perpetual sunset/sunrise. There was an unbroken blanket of cloud all the way from Heathrow to within about half-an-hour of Calgary, so there was no opportunity to view the magnificent vistas across Iceland, Greenland and the Canadian Northern territories.
Having landed in Calgary, we picked up our hire car and headed for our hotel. Usually we stay at the airport on the first night, but for a change we decided to stay at the highly rated Hotel Elan in downtown Calgary, which was very pleasant.
