Burning rubber in Canada - Part - 2 ,Vancouver to Revelstoke

Hi There

     It was a bright day full of excitement for all of us ,we rushed through a hearty breakfast .After loading up it was time to get on the road!!The first step was to go to the rental agency located at Vancouver airport to endorse me as additional driver, and also Deepak wanted to exchange our present car with ford explorer.It was a very easy drive with help of GPS
 as places were conveniently marked  on the road,speaks very high of Canadian highway dept.

    We reached the dealership ,he took my drivers licenses went through it and Viola!!! I was added as extra driver on the car.There after he told us that if we want to change the car than firstly we have to wait for 2 days and than shell out extra few hundred dollars.We discussed amongs't ourselves  and upon Netrali's suggestion decided to continue to use the Vehicle,which in days to come was going to be the best decision.

   

                                  Our home for next 12750kms

      We immediately proceeded for our next destination ,it was already noon by the time we hit the road. The drive was wonderful ,with lovely weather .As we went away from the city the landscape drastically changed and many times I felt is it real,or a fairy tale? it was so beautiful.Few of the road snaps are as under,

      By the time we thought about halting for some snacks it was well past lunch time and we had just covered the half distance.On insisting of Shaunak and Malhar we decided to grab a bite at the Macd.

      The staff and service of the Macd was superb even though it was located in a very small place and the best part was  the burger,it tasted superb it had locally sourced fresh veggies and surprisingly,they understood what veggie burger is ,otherwise in days to come I had tough time explaining what veggie burger I want either I got it or flatly refused .

    Our next stop was at the rest stop along the highway.The rest stop along the Canadian highways at places are superb  and very clean ,they will beat a good hotel washroom too.Hats off to govt of Canada, for these rest stops, many of them located in isolated places are maintained so well.

   After a long drive we finally reached our hotel for the night .It was a nice motel ,after taking some rest it was time to explore the town of Revelstoke and also to have dinner.

   By the time we entered the down town it was pretty late and most of the shops were closing down,however it was still bright outside.Luckily we found an excellent Indian restaurant,it was a kind of fusion place with Indo-Canadian menu.The best part was we found Chai, me and Netrali were super exited we both were Chai persons.

      After reaching the motel we discussed the plan for the next day ,by this time I was feeling very sleepy as also jetlag was getting on to me so I called it a day.
