Churchill - Day 1

Now we are backing up and switching tracks, then backing up some more!  Not a good idea after breakfast!

The train has pulled into Churchill station! Waiting to unload! There's 93 on our two buses, one from eastern Manitoba and one from Brandon that joined into one on the train, that cancelled their dining car and extra staff so The Hub in Thompson put together boxed and bagged suppers and breakfasts for us! That was a long ttttrrrrrriiiiiipppppppp!






Just waiting at the Legion having morning coffee n muffins till our rooms are ready 3ish. Then we were treated to Bannock wrapped smokies and fries by the staff for lunch. The tours were posted and NO early mornings for us two! Now listening to the Fugitives perform while waiting for our room designations and transport there. Apparently the polar bears are around so caution outside! Also some ladies were taken to the river and the belugas were right there! Can't wait!





Today by accident we met up with Florence and Roy's friends right Ruth from Mesa and left Darlene from BC! WOW!!!

Lovely evening listening to some old time tunes and music PLUS watching some awesome dancers! Even enticed two couples from another tour to maybe follow "The Fugitives" play elsewhere on tour!


Florence's friends, Darlene and Ruth.

75% were most times dancing.
