Rocky Mountaineer

Here we are in Vancouver to begin our Mountaineer rail trip. We have done a bus trip around the city and some suburbs, the highlight being Stanley Park. We went up to the Tower Lookout and had a lovely lunch on the revolving restaurant, and we did a full day tour of  Capliano Park that included a very scary suspension bridge walk and a treetops walk, then to a salmon hatchery and finally to
Grouse Mountain where we had a talk on and saw a pair of Grizzleys ( they were orphaned in 2001 so the park built them a 5 acre enclosure and took them in). There was a lumberjack show, parts of it I couldn't watch, ( he was so high up that I got dizzy).

Vancouver is a very nice city, it has 3 times the parks and gardens that Melbourne has and it is very easy to get around. Well worth a visit.

Early start tomorrow, 6.30 am on the train to Kamloops.
