I noticed in many of the towns we passed that hanging flower pots were common – both to towns themselves and to private homes.

The images below are from Jaspert Park Lodge and on the journey to Kamloops.

The area we passed through near Kamloops seemed rather arid, although it had the large Thompson River nearby.  It was mainly a town for the railway with heaps of yards. We passed amazing scenery on the way here in the coach.

It was here we joined the Rocky Mountaineer for a two-day journey by train. The train had a carriage with a dome top – it was a double decker. The bottom was the dining carriage and the upper deck for viewing the scenery.

Some of these photos were taken through the train windows so may have a bit of glare or reflection on them.
