One of the best train journeys we have ever taken. We started up in the mountains traveling down the valleys to Kamloops where the train stops and we stayed at a hotel overnight. Next day we jumped back onto the train which took us through arid land to Vancouver.</b></span><br />

Naturally, we stopped for a chat and gave him some oranges which he promptly fed to his camels.</p><p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nJREz1S9zCQ&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nJREz1S9zCQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="480"></embed></object></p>wilbo43http://www.blogger.com/profile/00598066077101522060noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159812354029431157.post-63705536059099224922009-09-18T18:06:00.000-07:002011-04-25T16:21:32.439-07:00Chamberlain Gorge<p>While staying at El Questro station, we got up very early and were driven to the Chamberlain Gorge, one of the highlights of the trip. The lady who guided us into the boat was hilarious. She pointed out the yellow safety vests under each seat and proceeded to tell us that crocodiles in the gorge are attracted to yellow, so she suggested in case we were sinking, to swim fasted than the last person. She also pointed out the fire extinguishers on board of this all-aluminium boat.<br />

We recently drove from Brisbane in Queensland down to the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. We took a little over two weeks to do the 4,400km trip. Of course Willy Nelson's "On the Road Again" fits nicely with the vision.wilbo43http://www.blogger.com/profile/00598066077101522060noreply@blogger.com6
