Well we eventually arrived in Vancouver. Our journey began last Monday (9th June) and ended on the Wednesday (11th June), overall 51 hours. The journey was a lot better than any of us thought, i think it was because we were dreading it so much! The train went through some beautiful scenery, a couple of national parks one of which was a glacial park, and there was loads of snow up in the mountains as we travelled through them. The train had a big observation ca...

We then travelled for 2 hours on the subway up and down and ended up back where we started then deciding to get a taxi back as it was 5am! Our train journey to Boston was not that grea...

Hey all, We arrived in New York on Tuesday after our train journey up from Washington DC. We got ready pretty early and headed out down to Times Square area to grab some food have a drink before we went to watch The Little Mermaid. It was amazing!! (Andy and Lou it was like Salou!!)
