Day 2 Rockies

Monday  23rd May After a brilliant sleep we were up early and went down to a delicious breakfast. We loaded our suitcases onto the coach and were soon on our way. We have 51 people on the bus and all are from Australia. Our tour guide is a lovely woman from a town close to Seattle, called J. Yes J, that’s how you say and spell her name. Over the course of the day we drove through some amazingly beautiful scenery. I won’t try to describe the sights we saw but hopefully the photos will do it justice. We had a coffee break at a cute little town called Hope. This town is famous for it’s woodcarvings done by chainsaws. They were on  all the streets. We followed the Coquihalla Highway which is famous for having a reality show about massive rescue tow trucks that frequently are called in to rescue trucks that have left the road due to ice and snow. We travelled through the towering snow-capped Cascade Mountains to finish the day in Golden, a tiny town at the base of some of these mountains. A great meal was had at the one and only pub in the town followed by a hot spa back at our Hotel.
