Catch up time

Allready it is Saturday 7 a.m Vancouver is 3 hours behind Ontario so I guess my clock is still back there. Considering how much we travelled yesterday I should be sleeping as someone else is. Just as a little sidebar I will say the beds have been A+ train included which certainly adds to the trip. Our arrival was around 2 p.m on Wed. Later because of the situation but worked out well with obtaining our room. Sizewise the room is called a suite which means 2 rooms semi divided a bathroom with all features a cupboard to hang clothes and put away suitcases. Just space to spead out ahh bliss. The space on the train is COMPACT and if you put each thing back there is space. The bed is in the wall and spring loaded so that you turn the handle and pull it down actually quite comfortable. Large window with blind and ventilation coming thru the air ducts. I did a practice of using the toilet in the night and it really was not a problem. Saved exiting and walking down the hall. Sylvia + Dennis the couple we met checked out the room. They had the bunk bed. He is a very spry 84 year old Sylvia pushing that number They were not really enjoying the ladder routine. The toilet has a fitted stainless steel lid which is covered with some form of leather. This can act as an extra seat. True. Sylvia sat beside me on the bed now converted in to a bench seat and Dennis tired off standing sat on the reserved seating. We were having a fascinating conversation about books we have read. They were stopping in Jasper for a few days before continuing on. They live in Moncton so we are hoping to keep in touch
