Today is Jills birthday and what an amazing way to celebrate!!!!
We were picked up at 7 am from the hotel and taken to jasper train station...... The Rocky Mountaineer Train was awaiting.
Our carriage was only half full so we were able to spread out on the train and have 8 seats between the 5 of us :-)
The service on the train was out of this world, with breakfast, snacks, lunch and alcoholic drinks served (which made Jills birthday!!!!)
Amazing scenery, mountains, waterfalls. We saw a great view of mt. Robson peak. Came into kamloops which was an arid dry barren area, cowboy country. Kamloops itself was a bit odd, made Hastings look like an ideal place to live. Dave was approached 3 times for money, once by a chap with a lovely facial tattoo! the ladies also had a disappointment, they went to the rhythm On the rails show which wasn't the best in fact positively cringeworthy!!!! Luckily the food there was delicious so softened the blow somewhat!
Lets just say we would not recommend Kamloops to anyone for a visit!!!!
