On 8th July, we joined the Rocky Mountaineer for the first leg of our rail trip to Vancouver. We travelled in a huge double decker carriage with seats upstairs and vast windows, and a dining area downstairs. There were five excellent attendants, providing excellent service (except for Ron's awful shaggy dog stories...)

At one point, we followed some white water rafters for a while. I know which method of travel I preferred!

We travelled through some wonderful scenery.

We arrived at Kamloops in the late afternoon, where we were transferred to our hotel, the Best Western, which was fine, and we had a good view of the town from our window.
