19. 08. 10 Thursday This evening we boarded The Canadian to Vancouver. We were assigned our cabin and were then welcomed aboard with champagne and snacks before heading west. Friday was northern Ontario – an endless corridor of trees. We explored the train and sat in the dome car at the rear and enjoyed really good meals with linen, china and fresh flowers on the table. Saturday morning we stopped in Winnipeg for 4 hours so took the opportunity to have brunch with Sandy and Randy before continuing west across the prairies in the afternoon. Sunday morning found us in Edmonton heading south through the Rockies to Jasper where again we stopped for an hour before continuing on through the night to Vancouver. A great journey for both Daisy and I showing the diversity of landscape and the sheer size of Canada. We also met some interesting people and really enjoyed the meals!
