Quesnell

The Rocky Mountaineer took us to a town named Quesnell (the s is silent).  The population is 25,000. The town is not a well known or popular tourist place but is does have the deepest fjord lake on earth,  Quesnell Lake.

We stayed overnight, I didn't go for a walk around town, both of us were so tired we hit the sack!  We had already seen lots of scenery on the train trip so I didn't feel that we were missing on on anything.

Up bright and early the next morning heading for Whistler. Along the way we saw another black bear munching away. His coat was shining with the reflection of the sun, what a memorable sight.

The Rocky Mountaineer provides us with breakfast and a 3 course lunch. The food is very tasty and it is nice to meet other travellers while we are having a nice meal. We especially enjoyed the company of a couple we met who hail from Ontario. They both have the thickest Scottish accents which tricked us for a moment, they moved from Glasgow to Canada 35 years ago. We got some very good tips for when we travel through Scotland and Ireland.
