Early in the morning we enjoyed a rich breakfast in the hotel. Afterwards we visited the Railway Museum in Revelstoke. It was very interesting to see how they had built the railway lines at the end of the 19th century. The trains are much bigger than we are used to. Amazingly they were fired with oil!! The tank of the first locomotives had a volume of 13’640 liters of oil and 40’540 liters of water – range 75 miles. Today the eco-warriors wouldn’t be delighted! -))
A few kilometers in the north of Revelstoke is the famous Revelstoke Dam located which produces electricity for the region. All rivers/lakes in British Columbia have the same size like France! WOW!
The info centre explained us how they built the dam, how it works and what every one of us can do, to save electricity.
Arrived in Golden first we had to find a room for the next night. The more nearly we come to Banff/Jasper/Calgary the more expansive the motels are. But we find although a nice and affordable motel room.
After a delicious dinner we explored the surrounding area and planed the next day. Then we fall a sleep immediately. Good Night!
