DAY 8 - Depart from Jasper and travel over the Yellow Head Pass and around Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Continue south to rejoin the Trans-Canada highway for the town of Kamloops and an overnight stay. DAY 9 - Continue across British Columbia to Vancouver. Drive through the rugged Fraser Canyon, which for many years could only be negotiated by wagon trains and mules, but is now served by a fast, smooth highway. From Hope a gradual descent is made through rich green valleys to Vancouver, where you will stay at a central hotel for three nights. 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, Gas Town, 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. See page 65 for further details.
