When I arrived in Vancouver, it felt like a completely different world. It’s like heaven on earth. My trip to Canada was to experience the rocky mountaineer and explore the peaceful and beautiful Vancouver city. The first two nights I spent in that city nearby the hotel area, although the weather is quite cold and rainy I was too fascinated by the surroundings, people leisurely walking, the nice apartments with overlooking the sea, the serenity that it contains, it’s just the perfect city. In the morning I was at the train station, I was more astonished how beautiful and luxurious it is. The people I met in that train are unforgettable. They came from different parts of the world with so many different stories to tell. I listened wonder. Some are very humorous and open and they just make the trip enjoyable. My route started from Vancouver to Kamloops, then Jasper, lastly at Banff. I will never forget the view of Lake Louise from the balcony of my hotel room. It’s surreal; it is like a painting. I remembered I drew up my hands as if to touch it as if it is not enough to only see it. The lake has that emerald color and there is a boathouse that just makes the view fantasy like. I love lakes with mountains and boathouse. When arriving at Banff, it is a small and compact and nice city, I love how the shops and hotels are arranged and of course, with mountains on the background. Only here in Canada was I never bored with the view of mountains. I feel like I need visit the Rockies again in the future. Finishing my trip back to Vancouver I explored the city again with city tour, I found a great marketplace Greenvile market, because it has a lot of food , and I enjoyed eating the seafood there. All my life i always want to find that unforgettable journey and this is one of them.
