we aren't too far from the front of the train I know everyone wants to get a shot of the locomotive but uh because they were too far uh from the front they get a shot but they're nice tree free spots coming up on the left or the right so I can just see the front of the tree just approaching that bridge now [Music] all right [Music] like I said this is at the end of the subdivision so we are now halfway to Cabot's you're making a very good time I think we've only stopped for one Freight trade today and a couple of the trades that pulled over for us they can have a good time but like I said halfway to Kamloops thank you very much it's a Golden beet salad nice and sweet that was a good day I was doing a majorette when I was younger it looks like Feta doesn't it [Music] look at that it's pretty good so let's dig in beautiful flavors thank you do you want to swap my chords out for your beef no so like he's got two big tops there and there's more under the trolley so she wasn't talking

so that food was absolutely fantastic it's fantastic I just have to point Taylor actually have a camera around the wrong way I'm not saying it's the wine oh we're having a fabulous time with the food and service has been excellent I love the scenery so we're on our way up to be said to Kamloops um they predict that if you're on the Rocky Mountain Air you could be up to an hour and a half to two hours late because freight trains take priority over passenger trains but as it is it looks like we're going to be on time to be able to explore bear Kamloops too Food Service everything I can't afford anything can you throw it in fabulous yeah such a fantastic just the companies have been a bit iffy to be honest [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh yeah yeah that's right all right swimming thank you [Music] [Music] thank you uh Kamloops in the local First Nations or indigenous language means meeting of the waters the word Kamloops so that's the meeting of two different Rivers uh there's the North Thompson beside us as well as the South Thompson you'll see as you travel from our train station to your hotel this evening uh they meet uh the base of the city of Kamloops they make up a very large lake that we'll see tomorrow known as Kamloops lake so we're coming to the end of uh the real the subdivision for Canadian national rail there's another set of tracks so another company that meets Here is known as Canadian Pacific uh those are the tracks you would take if you're taking the train from into Cambridge so they both meet here and it's a little Junction little hub for Rail and then from Kamloops all the way to Vancouver they run parallel across each other from all the rivers and lakes as they head all the way down to Vancouver so another rail town in this area myself Chris and Angus we're gonna hop off the triangle to the red carpet to roll it free one more time we're gonna get those flights put up in position for you but we're gonna receive a package from the motor coach driver a very important package uh this is your hotel room key so we've already checked everybody into the hotel room this evening but more importantly these keys are in the order number of your seats so we want you to stay in your seats please don't flood the island try to get off because we're on the bus going to hop back on the train I will come through and distribute all the keys and they're in order of your seat so once we hand the key over to you then it's safe to exit the train but on the key you'll see what the tellers say that and the most importantly it's going to tell you what time to be picked up tomorrow morning so the same bus that takes you to your hotel tonight they're going to pick you up at that time it's somewhere around 7 10 7 15 720 I don't know exactly but somewhere in that area as we have to get you back to the trade as we leave at eight o'clock so you know we're gonna have another train meeting us we have to get all 600 people on the train as for your luggage tonight your luggage is already going to be delivered into your room as for tomorrow morning for your luggage just leave your luggage in the room which I hope everyone enjoyed their day on the last amount thank you they said cool it's been a nice amazing day so what's changing is better than this than Paulie I did the steam train from Park and to the forest today about 10 minutes each way I was right out there with it all the one from Cardiff to Barry Island as good as well that was only six pounds it's a substantially cheap ah no it's been fabulous so we're just gonna get all our stuff uh what's up I'm gonna be off to our hotel in Kamloops thank you very much [Music] team thank you see you tomorrow yeah 100 cheers after a very comfortable night at the coast hotel in Kamloops we headed back to the rocky Mountaineer for day two [Music] the whole group [Music] no problem pleasure we're coming back happy birthday oh thank you thank you thank you very much right so we're back on um same staff which is lovely so the same staff look after you both days so you've got to know Chris and Mark haven't we yes it is Angus yes so we're just preparing our breakfast um and I'll just let's show you the menu it's different you get different menus on different days so here we go so this is our menu for this morning are you yeah Oh I thought you might have had the waffles oh I might have the waffles lunch is difficult though look isn't it because of the porch over there I might have a side of addiction which everyone on this Carriage because there was a problem with the silver carriage had an upgrade to a gold carriage and the main difference with that really is you're sat at advocacy um you're sat up on the second level so you're like a double deck of this isn't it yeah like a double decker bus and you get your your sat upstairs rather than on ground level or tree level so um it's whether that's important to you for us if we did it again I would definitely do gold oh wow because of the views um so what we've got I do have Carol explained as well we've sort of had like a half upgrade so we were in the gold carriages but we've still got Silver Service just to clarify the difference between Silver Leaf and gold leaf Gold Leaf comes with a more extensive dining and drinks menu your meals are served in a separate dining room and the carriage that you travel in is twice as high as silver giving you far superior views we often get asked about toilet facilities and we can confirm that the toilets on board were both well maintained and scrupulously clean so yes like I said it's in the back of our rail yard to then continue forwards lovely so we've said we're in Kamloops which we are we're it's eight o'clock in the morning and we are going to Vancouver and we should get there by seven o'clock tonight and look we're just laid up ready for breakfast here you'll be able to see South Thompson River for a moment there this is where they meet and then they flow into Lake camwoods Waters [Music] foreign [Music] smells absolutely delicious oh there's some goats on the right sheep at the top go to the lights [Music] as you can hear we've only some great banter on the train make sure it's a bigger girl next time yeah I'll try I like Joe Carroll wasn't sure what it was though sheep on the goat on the ship so we we just randomly showed it if we spot something which is brilliant what's it like potatoes and your frittata is that bacon see bacon in Canada I don't know what they do what I do know what they do they put maple syrup on them I bet it's like the best bacon again yes it looks funny [Music] Easter together shot on the Rocky Mountain here eating maple bacon looking at Goats here because they're always checking on the tracks to make sure they're clear you'll see these slide fences that are beside us I think we mentioned these yesterday there's these wires here on the right they are meant to uh not hold back in the Rockies you see they're pretty flimsy here on the right but uh if there's ever a slide that comes down they can detect it and they'll send a signal to rail Transit control and they'll know there's been some sort of movement if there is a slide they'll then send out a specially designed pickup truck known as a pilot truck these are these pickup trucks that drive right on the train tracks so for the trucks and coming through if the train can follow through this is also how they bring the crew into this area because the highway is on the other side of the river they're not going to make their crew swim across the river to the side so whatever the most recent Bridges or the next Bridge they'll put them on the truck I've been sending them down the line and that's how they get the crew to this area so look in front of us to the left those are the snow sheds I was mentioning they are on our right you have to look forward to the left and just imagine they built these tracks over a hundred years ago and the reason why they built on this side Canadian Pacific on the other side they came through first so they built their tracks to the easier side when CN came along and they're forced to build on the opposite more dangerous side where we are this time it's perfect 23 of it beautiful thank you thank you so much so I've got a Caesar which is the the Canadian version of the Bloody Mary which I'm sure you know by next I've had a few on a trip a Diet Coke because you don't have to drink to have a good time what have you got in there bullet very bad and this is celery salt you should know if you've ever tried celery salt but it's absolutely not good for you look at the middle and pressure but very tasty foreign [Music] delicious [Music] now this is where apparently you wipe you wipe your rim that right honey so if you see you can do that to put all the salt in to the but I'm not going to do that because I'm trying to cut down on salt oh [Music] tomato juice in Canada is like amazing because it's light it's not so thick as tomato juice and it's lovely [Music] happy birthday to me yeah so as first I bring the settings go yeah as well it's not the most picturesque at the moment [Music] [Laughter] chisel [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] wow [Music] that up it is bad [Music] this fantastic scenery though it's just absolutely awesome right then so nice on the train yeah Rose okay yeah here is the best birthday ever I think in the morning I'm sure it is I can't think of anything that would have topped this on the actual day we might have done things but on the day I can't believe this has been locked very happy and another chance for me cauliflower [Music] I wish you could smell this because it smells absolutely delicious no no not yet tasty delicious that's like um mushroom stroganoff type really lovely I like carrot though happy birthday what's wrong with you that's beautiful cheesecake delicious can you see any chocolate there no that's what's wrong with me we've just had a lovely birthday we have on the rocky Mountaineer we have foreign [Music] we should arrive about seven-ish apparently I know I think we're going to arrive before then I think we're making good time as long as we don't encounter any more um but we want freight trains to come because we actually don't want to get off they said we make good times like it there really and we're like no we don't want to get in there early do we yeah let's let me get there we're gonna have to meet up with a crews in Canucks so that's a even more of a reason to stay on there as long as yeah they just measured us it's bizarre as it we can get pockets of 4G maybe especially said we could see you because they were flying over into Vancouver so he said we did wave but anyway yes so heading to Vancouver to have a bit of fun with them before we get on the Corningstone foreign [Music] I just want to say thank you very much for coming on the Rocky Mountain I hope you enjoyed our Silver Leaf service we do have one last gift for everyone uh we have our little postcard here that Angus is holding up as a shot of Mount Robinson we're unfortunately able to see due to this wildfire in the smoke but we've signed all of our signer names in the back side of the postcard so hopefully you'll remember us for a few days to come and not forget us too soon to the station please remain at your seats we're going to go downstairs get that red carpet rolled up for you one last time to make sure we send you off in style that I'd like to be the first to welcome you to YouTube Vancouver and thank you very much ladies and gentlemen cheers enjoy the rest of your trip sure we're on we're about the last three minutes of the Rocky Mountains near Adventure we're gonna uh we've got to go past the station which we've just done and then we've got a reverse back in on a different line yes but it's been amazing yeah if you want to do something new if you want to do something that's truly memorable and well you is awesome yeah um thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly recommended that's it again we're gonna get off and uh we're off to our hotel in Vancouver for one night before we get to start our cruise to Alaska so make sure that you obviously follow us on that too and see how amazing the rest of our trip is going to be well
