4 nights & 3 days on Via Rail from Vancouver to Toronto ....what a great experience......
Good food (like crab & avo eggs Benedict for breakfast,  prawn & scallop skewers for lunch, & pickerel for supper).
Cozy accommodation, very cozy but with everything one needs and no wait for the shower down the hall.
Good wine....during a wine tasting session we discovered a delicious Ontario Riesling.
Good beer.....discovered Steamwhistle Pilsner from a Toronto microbrewery.
Friendly efficient staff with a good sense of humour.
Interesting fellow passengers from various places in the world ... Get to talk with different people over meals and in the dome car
Great weather & scenery.....sunny clear skies until the last morning heading into Toronto ....not a cloud in the Rockies....Full view of Mount Robson, melted snow sitting in the fields on the prairies, snow in the ditches & shady areas under the bush of the Canadian Shield, and lush lovely landscape of cottage country in southern Ontario.
