Packed up our belongings and said goodbye to our lovely home in Halifax this morning. We boarded our train, “Ocean”, at 1.00pm and set off on our overnight journey to Quebec. Karyn and Chris are in the cabin next to mine. I have my own little bathroom, no shower though. We arrive tomorrow at 6.15am so won’t be worried about showers anyway.
They served a three course lunch in the dining car, which was very nice, though nothing like the Ghan of course. After lunch we walked to the back of the train and sat in the upper deck of the observation car.
The scenery has been quite reminiscent of our train trip from Oslo to Bergen last year. Lots of snow, frozen lakes and forests with conifers and silver birches. There has also been some farmland interspersed with little towns. By 4 o’clock it was getting dark but we enjoyed seeing Christmas lights on the occasional house that we pass and in the towns.
Have a wonderful time.

Great blog work Heather - videos ‘n’ all! (And what a wonderful shot of a fishing eagle - Alan’s jealous.) Isn’t it magical with all the snow?? Only 3 more sleeps till Santa comes ������ and I think whiteness is guaranteed! We’re all enjoying Canada - even Alan is having fun in the cold.�� D
ReplyDeleteI believe emojis don’t work on this ... those question marks were little Santa pictures and a winking face at the end ... just so you know. Xx
