We are to meet our bus at 8:05 so we got up and seven and then went down to Stock and bought breakfast sandwiches. Then we went out to wait for our bus. It was a bit late but when it arrived we were first on so we got front row seats.
The tour began by us picking up more passengers and then going to the Gondola. We have been here before which was a good thing. There was very low cloud and you could not see the mountains. I felt sorry for the people who had come half way across the planet to see this view and only saw fog and clouds.
We also saw the Bow Falls, Surprise corner and the Hoodoos. While we were viewing the HooDoos a set of 5 elk were seen fording the Bow river. At first it looked as if the calves were in trouble but they made it to the shore successfully.
At the end of the morning we were again given a treat of hot beverages and sweets.
We left the bus downtown. WE roamed a little and then went to Tim Hortons for lunch.
Then we took a city bus back to the hotel.
We rested and then went to see the rep from the Rocky Mountaineer. We got our luggage tags and boarding passes.
Our suitcases at to be ready for pick up at 5:45, and we are to be ready to board transport to the train by 6:45.
Tonight we will relax in our beautiful room for this evening. We look forward to the train travel for the next 2 days. Kamloops tomorrow night.
