DAY 9 - This morning you will re-board the train and continue your journey from Kamloops to Vancouver, following the Thompson River. Eventually the Thompson merges with the Fraser River, which the train follows nearly all the way to Vancouver. After the town of Hope the rugged canyons give way to the fertile fields of the Fraser River Valley. On arrival in Vancouver transfer to your hotel for a three night stay. DAY 10 - Vancouver has one of the most beautiful settings of any city in the world. It is surrounded by mountains, forests and beautiful islands. As Canada's third largest city, it is a busy seaport and important centre for the fishing and timber industries. This morning you will depart on an included introductory half day tour of the city during which you will visit Chinatown, Gastown, the remarkable 1,000 acre Stanley Park with its famous totem poles and the magnificent harbour. There is certainly plenty to see and do in Vancouver. An optional half day excursion will be available on Vancouver's Northshore featuring the spectacular Capilano suspension bridge and a cable car ride
up Grouse Mountain for breathtaking views of the city and the snow-capped mountains of Washington State (America) and Vancouver Island. Perhaps the most popular excursion is to Victoria, capital of British Columbia, where much of its British Victorian heritage is still preserved. The full day trip includes a ferry across to the island, and visits the marvellous Butchart Gardens, Parliament Building and the fabled Empress Hotel. What's more, for those of you with friends or relations in the area, our stay in Vancouver allows plenty of time to stop by and say hello. DAYS 11 & 12 - Free in Vancouver, until afternoon transfer on Day 12 to the airport for your return flight to the UK. DAY 13 - Arrival in the UK.
