The Revelstoke. A Name Hard To Forget!

 Our travel continued and passed by this old bridge before Revelstoke. My husband mentioned something about this bridge which link to something else. Did you know that I suffered hearing loss several times while on this journey? It's crazy! I was hearing impaired for one minute to at least 1 minute or less... frequently. Then my hearing returns after I yawned or tap my ears. It's kind of weird right? But that's natural occurrence during the long driving from the mainland highway up to the elevated regions of British Columbia. It's the high altitude kind of situation and the strong winds that gets in to our vehicle every time I opened the windows.

We stayed at Super 8 Motel for the night. We can't drive no more because we are tired sitting and husband tired of driving and exhausted and we have to stretch our legs, most of all we have to eat dinner. We had our supper at Dennys restaurant and what a small world, a Filipina waitress works there. She is charming and chatty with great personality. She told me that Revelstoke is a very quiet place to live. It seems quiet alright from the way it is situated inside the mountain ranges on all sides of the city. But this time around there are too many tourists, bustling with at least hundreds of tourists to thousands maybe just to visit the "Last Spike?" I don't know.

I had a good night's rest after having a warm bath. I was thinking of the swimming pool located at the lobby of the motel maybe my daughter and I could take a plunge but I was too tired to do that. There are young kids swimming with their mom. Good for them.  Super 8 has free Wi-Fi so you can use your computer, laptop or tablets. But then I was exhausted to use my computer- notebook.

 Breakfast: I always need a hot brewed coffee first thing first in the morning. Without it I'll be cranky for the rest of the day. My husband already had his first coffee and at the lobby of the motel, there is that special nook for breakfast. I was waiting to be served when my husband said it was a "self-serve" service. Anyway, he made waffles especially for me and my daughter.

Super 8 Motel's Breakfast Nook is simply nice, clean and tidy. The management is keeping their place in proper order.

 Here I am waiting for my order of waffles while having my first cup of hot coffee with cream.

Thank you my dear for this early morning breakfast!

After breakfast, my husband paid for our stay at the front desk clerk and off we go for another long drive to the mountainous, rugged terrain of this region.

At 6:45 AM We had reached The Golden, Roger's Pass and after three tunnels we had passed along the way, so many stop signs and flag stops to slow us down on the highways

Road constructions everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!

Shocking!

 This is when I opened the window of our vehicle and turned on my digital camera wide open to the majestic view of this very huge mountain. The strong current of wind, cold and brrr....it's really cold. My face is cold, my hands are cold! It's only 3 degrees Celsius, for God sake!





We are at Roger's Pass at 7:05 AM, June 23, 2017 and I don't wanna miss this sublime epic so I took more quick shots and closed the window of our vehicle before I freeze (not frozen yet) thank God. So beautiful this huge mountain. A mountain I only happened to see on National Geographic Magazine and I was seeing it with my own eyes.
