Amtrak train to Vancouver

Another early start but plenty of time to admire the recommissioned King Street Station. A grand waiting hall.

A nice little trip up the coast today from Seattle to Vancouver. The early part of the trip reminded me of the drive up the Thames Coast of NZ..close to cliff edge, land either side of water, random fishing boats, beach walkers, flotsam and jetsam, driftwood and houses hugging the hills. Lots of trees but no pohutukawa!

Nice little bit of farmland also and of course there were a few of the less salubrious bits where train tracks always seem to go.

Lovely afternoon walk around top of inlet at Port Moody to the Golden Spike Festival. Late lunch fish and chips and a cider..its hot here.

Great to catch up with friends from out Vietnam cruise. One of the joys of travel is the people you meet.
