KAMLOOPS to VANCOUVER: Highlights

This will again be a shortened version of my blog, for we have one more tour and I can squeeze in a short posting.  From tomorrow, back to normal in Vancouver.

A few videos and photos from our final Rocky Mountaineer ride from Kamloops to Vancouver.  Enjoy the palm of my hand,

Actually, we are departing Kamloops, not Banff.

Lunch announcement on the Rocky Mountaineer.

End of lunch.

Fraser River, which we followed all day.

A wonderful, yet mottled, ride.  With interminable delays, we finally reached the Rocky Mountaineer station in Vancouver.  You would think that all trains end up in the same spot, but the Rocky Mountaineer has its own terminal.  Come to think of it.  All of our stops were in their stations.

Amazingly enough, all five pieces of our luggage were awaiting on a cart, and one of their staff members pushed it to a taxi, which, at their cost, took us to the Blue Horizons hotel.  Photo from our room just after sunset.  Across the street was a variety of mostly oriental restaurants, so we had ramen and Asahi Dry Beer.  A great way to end a long train trip.

Woke up this morning, and it looks a bit cloudy.  Temperature now 56 F at 8:30AM, with an expected high of 62 F today.  Wind, 9 MPH.

Looking the other way,

A lot more tomorrow.  Ever been to Vancouver, Canada?  We have a guided tour.  Pick-up in a few minuters.
