Prince Rupert

Apparently I can take an inland train tour from Vancouver…

“The most scenic – until now – was taking the famous Rocky Mountaineer and the lesser-known Skeena through the Canadian Rockies from Vancouver to Prince Rupert.”

I stumbled across a person at 43T that lives there and she wrote a great story about it along with some websites…

A cruise liner stops there and it’s fishing/coastal living haven.

I hope to visit this place as part of my trip through Canada.

Arrived in town.. went to a local store and asked the cashier where the place to hang out was. she told us she usually plays pool at the belmont which happened to also be a strip club. We were then given the worst directions I have ever received in my life. For someone who lives there, explaining how to go 3 blocks was way too difficult. So we made it most of the way there and then stopped for some taquitos at 711. We found the belmont and it was a typical dive (which i love) we had about 6 pitchers of honey brown, then after one stripper did her thing (and wouldnt accept tips) we decided it was time to leave. The pool tables were decent. after that we headed down to a neat little place by the cruise terminal. and had a few more pitchers of beer. made it back to the boat on time. Good clean canadian fun.

maybe just personal, but i just didn’t like the place. it could be the fact that i was stuck there after driving all the way up through b.c. to get on the ferry to go up to ak, but its sooo little and there seemed to be nothing there worth traveling up to see.

its a beautiful city, the people are kind, the atmosphere is relaxed. The fishing and the scenery is breathtaking.

Visit and have lots of fun!
