The planning of this trip started since June 2017, after returning from the self-planned solo Amsterdam trip. The notion of train ride has been there all this while - which I think, would offer a totally different experience. Looked up for various popular train rides in Australia and Canada, that possibly landed up with overnight rides. In addition, June would be a good time to go places that are less accessible in December. Heard of the amazing scenery of the Canadian Rockies. Heard about memorable rides, too. (Oh yes, I remember what Peter told me when we were colleagues back in NAS, before his retirement.) While I was examining the various packages offered by the Rocky Mountaineer, a tinkle came... and a chat started with a service personnel! That's the wonders of technology and it has helped me to make a choice, too!

(Hotel) Day 4: Jasper - Whistle Inn



The side entrance of Whistle Inn.


It's a boutique hotel that is spacious and comfortable for a night stay.





It is located right in front of the Jasper station. I liken the fact that we could just walk over to the station to board the train. It's a great time saver! :)






  It is also facing the main street with shops and eateries lined up. Very convenient.




... where A&W, KFC, Pizza Hut and Subway (not in the picture) - all under one roof ...



Wow! Here's the Tourist Information Centre


The Firehall (aka Fire Station) looks more like a chapel


Colourful letter boxes - all over the towns that we visited
