Van and RV Trip Across Canada
28 followers
So today is the second day in the RV
and early in the morning Veronica is making breakfast
Yesterday we took all the groceries
and today we have to go to the main Vancouver
Yesterday I showed you the whole RV
and the campground around here
but today we have to go to two main locations
One is Vancouver downtown
which is the main downtown of Vancouver
and the second most famous place in Vancouver
is the Stanley Park
I have heard that it is one of the most beautiful parks in the world
So we are leaving after having breakfast
and in today's vlog I will show you
Vancouver city in Canada and the famous Stanley Park
The strawberry we bought from Costco yesterday
turned out to be so good
We get really good strawberries in the US and Canada
and with that we get this yogurt
It has a little bit of strawberry and nuts
It is a great snack
I was watching the India-Australia match on my laptop
and in the last vlog I showed you the interior of the RV
So now I will show you the exterior
and what all features are there in the exterior
First of all, these are all storage
or compartments for different things
This is a pan
You can use it as a storage
This one is written on it
This is for propane
which is a propane cylinder
because the gas inside runs through this propane tank
I just opened this
but when you drive, you always have to keep it closed
After that, this is the furnace exhaust
which is the exhaust of the gas inside
Here is more storage
If you want to store anything
There is no shortage of storage outside
I think this is the biggest storage
I have kept my bag here
You can keep a lot of other things
There is a lot of storage inside
I have already taken out the slide-out
Let me show you how these slide-outs come out
because there is more room inside
Both slide-outs have come out from this side
The whole wall comes out
Now let me show you all the driving features
If you have never driven such a big car
like I didn't
What are the safety features
What is different from the car
Almost all these RVs are made like Ford
or Mercedes
Mercedes RVs are a little expensive
If you rent one, you will get one like Ford
Driving was smooth
I didn't realize that I was driving such a big car
The parking brake in big cars
is not a handbrake
You have to push this from here
This is their parking brake
and it is released from here
There is a music system with Bluetooth
if you want to play music
There is a rear camera
which is always on
so that you can see properly
Obviously, it doesn't have a rear mirror
so you get a view from the rear camera
Rest all the safety features
Adaptive cruise control is very important
if you are going on a long route
Apart from that, everything else is car-related
You won't notice any noticeable difference
The only difference is
that all the gears are put from here
Like this, it is on drive
So this RV park
is very close to both
Vancouver Downtown and Stanley Park
I just want to go to the office
and ask the check-out time
because yesterday we parked the RV
at around 4 pm
and the check-out time is usually
at 11 or 12 pm
So I am thinking of extending
one night here
because we haven't seen Vancouver
and we have to check out now
So I don't know where to park the RV
Walmart or Costco
So I will either extend one night here
so that we can roam around Vancouver
and then leave for our next destination tomorrow
I will just go inside and ask
if the spot is available for today
So the spot was available for today
So I extended it for one night
Now we will be able to roam around
Vancouver comfortably
Otherwise, we would have to check out
and I didn't even book a campground
for today
So this is the new pass
which you have to put on the dashboard of the RV
It will take 20 minutes to reach downtown
Direct buses are available
It is at a very convenient location
If you start your trip from Vancouver
then I will highly recommend you to stay here
I will put the location of the campgrounds
I will be staying at in the description
So this was yesterday's pass
We have to put this for today
First, we are going to Stanley Park
It is showing on the map
14 minutes by bus
or 1 hour walk
So let's take the bus
First, we have to walk for 3 minutes
and then take the direct bus
The weather has been gloomy since we came
It is slowly raining
It hasn't stopped for a minute
It rains all the time in Vancouver
Veronica loves this kind of weather
I like a little sunny weather
which is partly cloudy
because you can't fly a drone
in this weather
and secondly, sometimes
you can't even record with a camera
You have to use your phone
because the camera is not waterproof
To take the bus, we have to go up
You can see the access
I think we have to go from the front
If you want, you can rent a cycle
from Lime
It is the same brand in Europe
You can rent a scooter or a cycle
I will download the app
and tell you the price later
It is quite cold for a cycle
The fall has started
The leaves are turning orange
This is the famous maple leaf
which is also on their flag
There is a lot of insurance issue in Canada
It is written here
Witness needed
There must have been an accident
of BMW and Fiat
It is written here
to call if there is any witness
because the insurance increases a lot
We can take any of these
Vancouver or Vancouver Express
You can pay in three ways
Either with your normal card
Visa Mastercard
or if you have cash
It took 10 minutes from the bus
to reach the downtown area
On my left is Stanley Park
We just had to cross this bridge
Now we have to cross from the front
Stanley Park is famous
because of the fall colors
of the trees
You will get to see so many colors
Red, Orange, Pink
and other than that
there is a beautiful view
of downtown Vancouver
I have never seen these
Look how pink it is
It's like bright red
Wow
This is the boat parking area
near Stanley Park
where people have parked their boats
Downtown is over there
I am looking for the main spot
from where you can see the entire downtown
because it is a huge park
If you walk, you can walk
for 2 hours in the park
I checked on Google
The main points of Stanley Park
were in the beginning
which was at a walking distance
from our campsite
Now we are at the end of the park
Downtown will start from here
So we are thinking to visit the downtown
When we will take the bus again
we will get down one stop earlier
so that we can see the other areas
of Stanley Park
Now we are walking to downtown
Downtown is straight
I don't know if there is
any attraction to see in downtown
If you come to any city
you should visit the main center
Vancouver downtown starts from here
All the skyscrapers are here
Straight ahead is the famous Chinatown
There is a huge Chinese population
in Vancouver
There are a lot of good things in Canada
It is a beautiful country
But Vancouver is their only city
which is suffering from homelessness
like the US
As you can see behind me
You will find a lot of homeless people
in Vancouver downtown
There is a huge drug problem in Vancouver
Homelessness is also a huge problem
because people are not able to afford
to buy property or rent
It is a very expensive city
I am not 100% sure
but according to me
Vancouver is the most expensive city in Canada
If I compare it with any US city
it is comparatively safe
You won't feel unsafe
even here in downtown
Like in US cities
Here in Vancouver downtown
there is a harbour front walk
All the cities by the sea or by the ocean
have a harbour front walk
You can see Vancouver Island
because we are in Vancouver mainland
but there is Vancouver Island
where there is another beautiful city
Victoria
We had a plan to go there
because I have heard that
it is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada
and you can visit Victoria only during the summer
October is the last month
because you can't go by road from here
You have to take a ferry for Victoria
If you go by RV
then your RV will be loaded in the ferry
then they will drop you to Vancouver
and after October
the cruises will be closed
because the sea around the city will freeze
We wanted to go to Victoria
but if we take such a long detour
then we won't be able to reach
Edmonton where we have to return the RV
Is it empty or I have this impression
because we just came from India
I think it's just because we came from India
You can rent yachts from here
I saw many yacht rental companies
Veronica
Why do you think there is a fuel station
in the middle of the water
This is a fuel station?
Yes
I know
It's for those seaplanes
Yeah, you have seaplanes here
because you can go to the Vancouver Island
on a seaplane as well
Like I was telling you
you can either take a ferry to go to Vancouver Island
but apart from that
there are seaplanes like this
which I have shown you in Maldives
I don't think there is anything else
to see in the downtown
So we are going back to the RV park
The attractions we wanted to see in Stanley Park
we will go there later
I am a little hungry now
So let's go to the RV and have lunch
There is a grocery store nearby
We have to buy some more stuff
because tomorrow we will leave Vancouver
and in the next 2-3 days
we will stay in the wilderness
I don't think there will be much to see
and in Vancouver
the public transport buses
run like this
connected to the electric line
and it's like San Francisco here
Uphill and downhill
so it's a workout to walk
and the only disadvantage of RV
is that you can't park your car
There are special parking spots
and those are usually
2-3 times more expensive
I have put the second RV park on the map
and the bus that has stopped
is showing us a 15 minute walk
from where we have to go
and I think this is the poorest neighborhood
I have seen in Canada
There is garbage everywhere
Shopping carts
So many old houses
We are back at the campground
and a lot of people have rented
from the same brand, Canada Dream
There is Cruise Canada
This is America's biggest company
Cruise America
I have come to Canada a while ago
Let's put the shoes on the stairs
so that there is no garbage inside
They also gave this card
with the RV
You can get a discount
on 2-3 cents per liter of fuel
You have to register it
We have to fill it up
when we leave tomorrow
The fuel is almost empty
Before leaving
I was booking my campground
and let me tell you
how and where we have to go
Right now we are in Vancouver
and we have to return the RV
in the middle of Canada
There is a city in Alberta
Edmonton
which is around 14-15 hours away
from Vancouver by drive
You can assume 18-19 hours from the RV
Tomorrow we have to leave Vancouver
I am thinking
to reach this city from Kamloops
It is 4 hours away
The main attraction we have to visit
on this trip is
Banff National Park
It is Canada's most beautiful national park
and it is in the top 5 of the world
Right now I have to book
the main campsite
because you have to book it in advance
If you book it just 1-2 days in advance
it is very difficult to get a campsite
in the main national park
This is the official website
of the Canadian government
If you want to book a campsite
I will put the link in the description
These are the main campgrounds
and I searched
The 2-jacks lakeside campground
is the best
These 2 campsites are already sold out
I was about to book this campground
I was booking this spot
and now it is sold out
Banff National Park is booked
Luckily I got a spot in the main campground
Now we are going to
a nearby complex
where there are many stores
We have to buy some stuff for RV
We have to buy the water
There is our campground
and this is the river
which is right next to our campground
This is the main street
There are many restaurants here
Nando's, Five Guys
We came here last night
and there is a grocery store
It is a small square
There are some shops
There is a cinema here
This is Veronica
She is buying a pumpkin pie
This is a normal grocery store
You get a full cake
It is a little expensive
but there is a lot of stuff
Fresh salads, fresh sandwiches
Samosas, chicken samosas
Vegetable samosas
There are counters for salads
You can make your own salad
I don't know why
but here in US and Canada
Onions are so big
White onions, orange
3 dollars per kg
190 rupees
These are Indian Lays magic masala
This is made in Canada
I am thinking of buying
a garlic naan packet
There are ready to eat
This is a little expensive
31 dollars
I thought it would be up to 50
but it is still 30
I have to go to
Dollarama
It is a dollar store
You get everything here
at a low price
I thought I would have to
do grocery for 3-4 days
and the next day
I got a 45 dollar grocery
Let me show you
Diet Pepsi
Cheese for pizza
Oil spray
Onion, pumpkin pie, croissant
Garlic naan
Water
Popcorn
That's it
45 dollars
I watched a horror movie
on my laptop
It is a great feeling
I didn't feel at home for a second
I will see you guys in the next vlog
