It was actually so cold that the river had loads of big pieces of ice floating in it. Eventually, this river just gets frozen over completely.

It was a lovely day for a road trip and a very straightforward route, we were both excited to cross the border into BC to see what it was like over there.
On route, whilst on Highway 16, we went past Mount Robson which we had been told was impressive but it wasn’t until we saw it from the car mirrors that we realised it was something to actually stop for and take a picture of. From the other angle it just looked like all the other mountains.
The drive was long but picturesque which kept us entertained. Sam did most of the driving and I did a bit less than an hour -enjoyed it!

Once we got closer to Kamloops the landscape started to change and reminded me more of England because of the rolling hills, warmer climate, and lots of farms (we didn’t see any in Alberta). Also, the lakes and rivers weren’t the striking blue/green/turquoise that they had been before.
We arrived in Kamloops just in time for tea. Hotel is basic but we’re only here for two nights so it doesn’t matter. Saying that, I managed to get Sam an upgrade to a king suite on the top floor because our booking had been messed up, so her room isn’t bad. However we both miss having duvets rather than blankets and sheets. Hopefully in Vancouver there’ll be duvets!
