So what better way to end the day but to have a meet & greet over a couple of cold beers - specifically brewed for the hotel.
Then off to the local Italian restaurant for pizza & pasta. We’re heating to know the tour group s little better which really helps.
Lachlan & I will need to keep an eye on this lot, I really don’t feel like paying bail money ,...... lolもっと詳しく

City Sights Tour -Vancouver
2019年9月1日, カナダ ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Wow, what a busy morning. Slight mix ups with the times but we all made it on the coach. Driving through the streets of Vancouver having all the City buildings and places of interest pointed out, whilst interesting, was not really our cup of tea. Look left, look right and only slowing down enough to take a quick photo all felt a bit rushed. We did disembark at Stanley Park to see the totem poles and Vancouver Sky line then back on the coach to see Queen Elizabeth gardens. Gardens were beautiful but the ice cream whilst sitting in the shade was lovely. Back on the coach and we had the opportunity to be dropped at the Granville Public Market - YES PLEASE.
Quick stroll around then we located a little burger place “Popina” .... converted shipping containers on the pier.
The burgers were amazing, freshly brewed Ginger Ale and a view to die for - kinda reminded me of Brisbane. It was so nice to sit and watch the world go by. Cheers everybody.もっと詳しく

Dinner
2019年9月1日, カナダ ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Beautiful dinner with the tour group this evening. Opportunity to get to know people a little better. It was lovely to hear from others how well mannered Lachlan is. Well of course he is, he’s a respectful young man. 😊

The restaurant was sensational- GLOWBAL, located 3 blocks down from The Fairmont.... and they drove us there😂.
Lachlan & I walked back, very balmy night & the Taiwan Fest was still on so lots of people & music.

Up early tomorrow- Rocky Mountaineer Train trip starts.もっと詳しく

Rocky Mountaineer
2019年9月2日, カナダ ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Today we boarded the Rocky Mountaineer, destination Kamloops.
Oh my god, this train is amazing, and the all round views of the scenery is .... I can’t even find the words.
We were in the Gold Leaf glass roof car number 8. Today’s train had 14 cars of people 25 cars in total- it was a site to see. 815 guests onboard, the largest group of the season. The staff are like a well oiled machine, military precision is in understatement. Moving & organising that amount of people so precisely is a credit to the company.

There is always something to see, commentary when places of interest are coming up - allows people to get there cameras out... but nothing will ever take the place of simply watching the world unravel before your eyes. The food was 6 star and the hosts amazingly accommodating. Bar opens @ 10:31am so celebratory Baileys were the order of the day.... it was 12 noon somewhere in the world. 🥃🍸🍹🍻

DepartIng Vancouver, lush rainforest environment & moving towards Kamloops which is dry almost desert like ... through mountains that have been touch by fires, through to mountains that constantly have mud slides. Following the Fraser River through calm waters & rapids, then being lucky enough to see two rivers meet with 2 very distinctive colours merging.

One place I was desperate to capture an image of was “Hells Gate” this was a destination that dad took his tour group too 42 years ago. Back then it was a tour via coach not the beautiful Rocky Mountaineer. What an amazing display of mother nature’s artistic flare.

Scones, Breakfast, cheese & fruit platters, lunch and drinks never stopped coming. Tonight to say we’re full as a goog is an understatement.

We’ve disembarked and been bussed to our hotel - Delta, with full intention of going for a walk. (A better description would be waddle)... let’s see if this comes to fruition 🥴

Day one done, roll on day 2 and on to Banff.

No photo will ever show the truly amazing countryside in its pure form. But we’ll do our best.もっと詳しく

Galley tour
2019年9月2日, カナダ ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
In my family there’s two sayings -

DAD
Wonder what the poor people are doing?
Dad always instilled in us that you don’t need money to be rich, family, fun & laughter makes you richer.

MUM
What’s the worst thing they can say?... NO

Well today on several occasions both Lachlan and I asked - wonder what the poor people are doing... travelling on the Rocky Mountaineer, then we’d laugh.

Then mum, having more front than Myers, asked the train manager for her own copies of the menu and a tour of the “kitchen” to meet the staff.

Well, within the hour the head chef shows up to our seats & presents mum with a copy of the menu then invites her to tour the galley after the lunch service....もっと詳しく

旅行者 Well done Mum ....a great aside to the trip. Not everyone does that on the Rocky Mountaineer! And all the staff will remember her xx

Rocky Miuntaineer - Day 2
2019年9月3日, カナダ ⋅ 🌙 6 °C
Up bright and early for our next (and final) exciting day on the gorgeous Rocky Mountaineer. Heading up through the wilderness and seeing amazing mountain ranges, lakes and river systems.

The bridges and tunnel systems are an engineering feat. One tunnel system had us twisting as we climbed up the mountain- think of the letter “L” written in cursive. Thats how the train travelled. It’s said that the big freight train can be coming out the top of the tunnel and the end is still waiting to start coming through the tunnel.

This was one story dad told mum when he returned from his tour in 1977. Obviously dad and his tour group we’re watching the freight trains from the highway. Yet another cross over of tours 42 years apart.もっと詳しく

So we checked into the beautiful resort, and the team had set up a little surprise for mum. Yes it’s a couple of days early but mum was thrilled.
It’s the little surprises in life that count.
