OFF TO THE CANADIAN ROCKIES.....

Mom and Dad have finally arrived in Canada and it was a joyous reunion i can tell you!! We spent a nice afternoon catching up and socialising and an early dinner of cottage pie which went down well. Early to bed as the following day we left for the Rockies.

Vancouver to Kamloops
We collected our hire car in the morning and hit the Trans Canadian highway - first stop Hope.
At Hope we went to see the Othello Tunnels, really worth a visit. The old railway tunnels which are no longer used for this purpose are now a tourist spot and its really great to walk through them, some of them are like caves.


Fashion police alert, Moms out on the town!



Moving on from Hope we eventually arrived at Kamloops via Hells Gate round 7.30pm which is our first stop over. I didnt rate Kamloops but it was conveniently located to spend the night.


Below is our hotel and the sunset at Kamloops

So i got stung by a bee in Vancouver, viscious Canadian bees. look at my arm and thats four days later. Sympathy emails will be accepted :) Actually its got alot better, got a sore throat now, the fun just never stops, but i digress!
