The Mountaineer (again)

We boarded our buses to rejoin the Mountaineer at the appointed 6.15am time only to find the train had not yet returned to Kamloops station from its overnight rest place. So, about 11 buses containing the 665 passengers were taken on an impromptu tour of this city of 90,000.

Eventually the train was found and returned to the station for a departure delayed by an hour.

We now faced a twelve hours journey to Banff.

The breakfast menu was as yesterday (see previous post) but lunch was a fresh menu.

We started to see some mountains with what at first I assumed were snow caps but was told were glaciers.






With optimal train shuffle conditions we might have arrived at Banff as early as 6.30pm but we arrived at 8.30pm.

More to come.
