Canada 11: the Railway museum

Wednesday, 17 July 2013
After a good night sleep in our scrumptuous bed in the Regent hotel in Revelstoke we woke up this morning to find it was raining. Arghhh after all these sunny warm days, now rain and cloudy skies.
However, no problem coz we planned to visit the Railway Museum in Revelstoke. Wow what a place, it's not only the history of the railway but also of the unity of Canada. Very very interesting and intriguing.
We stayed at the museum for over 2 hours and took many photos

and CP facilitated the migration to BC

After our visit to the Railway museum we did 2 short hikes:

First the Skunk Cabbage trail with lots of birds and awesome plants. Sorry no pics of the lovely birds; they flew away :-)

Second the big trees trail with lovely views; sort of Lord of the Rings atmosphere ^^

We drove to our next home for a day the Bed and Breakfast 'LeBeausoleil' at Golden, where we are staying with a very nice Canadian couple in a big big wooden house with great views and space.

We had a lovely dinner at a sort of arty place in Golden (Eleven22). I forgot to take photos of the food, so I took this photo of Peter with the invoice, which was ok coz we had great BC Chardonnay wine for a reasonable price.
