Again our train family rises to greet the dawn!
We've left the mountains behind us and we're in an industrial canyon with trees blocking the sun, after crossing the Fraser river , passing it's new bridge being constructed.
Eventually with the sun still low we gain our morning glow
lighting our way into the city
where reach our destination the end of the line Vancouver
Lou has kept track (pun intended) of the time it's taken to cross Canada
95 hours 21 minutes and 44 seconds! I like her style!
But with arrival this stage of the journey ends and my train family spilt! I'll miss them all!
it's been so special I won't forget this.
But with exiting the station
once again alone the cruelty of travel and new experiences means I'll be replacing this with another life, who knows what it holds!
I have a choice ahead, I don't know how that will work out .... You'll know tho.
For now I'm into the city passing the bay
with the surprise of yet another bald eagle flying overhead!
and a family of Canada geese by my feet I see the
last of Canada's splendor for today, now it's back to humanity, passing though what must be old Vancouver certainly down town, with it's homeless problems, and it's city art
in all it's forms and ways
totally unfazed by the transition, I'm truly a traveler now!
Tho I have little ambition today, the sleep in the train has not been close to enough, I reach the hostel
it's above a bar!
A bloody good feed of ribs and chips and I'm up into room 102 dozing the afternoon away before the night takes the rest of consciousness!
