Check out our star rating, and our thoughts on the RV parks we stayed at for our Canadian Rockies adventure!

D U R A T I O N:
• Wood Lake: 1 night
• Revelstoke: 1 night
• Lake Louise: 1 night
• Tunnel Mountain: 2 nights
• Whistler, Jasper: 1 night
• Blue River: 1 night
• Dutch Lake: 2 nights
• Cache creek: 1 night
- due to wildfires didn’t stay here, so haven’t reviewed this.
•Whistler Olympic: 2 nights
• Capilano: 3 nights

R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S
• Add in a night at Tunnel Mountain, or build in extra day elsewhere before as we were exhausted due to pace so didn’t explore Banff area ( Johnston Canyon, Hotsprings) as planned.
• Drop Blue River, choose alternative or just plan in a longer driving/ travel day.
• Lake Louise, Banff, Icefields Parkway ( Banff to Jasper), Whistler are a must, and we loved Dutch Lake although was originally a stop to get from Jasper to Whistler.

I’ll post Activities breakdown shortly, hope this helps!

What does it cost to plan a bucket list RV Road trip adventure to visit the Canadian Rockies 🏔️🍁 - 💵 The full breakdown 💵

Here’s some additional thoughts ⬇️…

💭Flights ✈️

- Book in advance - on release date!
- We used Google flights, and date checker to help decide how long we would settle on, around 3 weeks was the goal. We opted 17 nights as prices changed dramatically for less days or more.
- Flights outside Summer hols, will be cheaper.

💭Accommodation 🚐🏕️ 🏩

Motorhome 🚐
- Do your research. We booked with Motorhome Republic and our motorhome was from Cruise Canada- zero complaints about service!
- Our price for the motorhome included unlimited package which included unlimited miles, kitchen utensils and bedding per person.
- Inc. insurance package
- We weren’t allowed to rent a motorhome on the day we landed, it had to be the next day, so hence the hotel stay.

RV Parks 🏕️
- Book in advance, put alerts on your phone for release dates, sign up for alerts, then still keep an eye out as they can release early then stated and fill up quick!
- Also bar one site we got full service - electric, sewage and water. Our tanks filled up quick, so I was glad I opted for this! It also didn’t make a huge difference in price but it made it one less thing we had to think about.

Hotel 🏩
- Booking a hotel wasn’t our ideal plan, but we weren’t allowed to take out a motorhome on the same day we landed, so that cost wasn’t optional. We booked the cheapest one between the airport and Delta (where we collected the motorhome next day).

💭 Food 🛒🍽️
- We did 3 main shops, two at the Real Canadian Superstore and they were really reasonable and my god the meat, fruit and veg quality was sooo much better than here (my opinion).
- We had food left over, and our bill was for 3 adults (well a teenage growing boy, iykyk!), I think we could have probably reduced the food bill by about £50 (cost of left over food)
- Freezer space (and ziplock sandwich bags)allowed us to not worry about sell by dates, so bulk buying keeps the cost down further.
- Food costs listed included drinks, ice creams, and bottled water (can’t drink tap) also..

“Following in the footsteps of Romeo and Juliet in the heart of Italy…” This is Verona … and Venice.

Our last 2 stops of our Italian road trip took us to Verona and Venice.

Verona is often referred to as the “City of Love” for its amorous atmosphere and poetic scenery that draws travelers from far and wide. However, its pink-hued buildings and legacy of romantic fiction, while certainly incredible, only scratch the surface of this captivating yet easygoing city.

Sites to check out in Verona:
📍Arena di Verona
📍Piazza delle Erbe
📍Casa di Giulietta (Juliet’s House!)
📍Castelvecchio and Ponte Scaligero
📍Piazzale Castel San Pietro
📍Ponte Pietra

Verona is one of my most favourite stops in Italy, which leads me to the next and final stop - Venice - which whilst unique due to the water, and still beautiful it just didn’t match the hype for me. Controversial I’m sure.

“The floating city” with its floating palaces, shimmering canals, rich history, and incredible art is a unique experience.

Sites to check out in Venice:
📍Visit St. Mark’s Square and Doge’s Palace
📍Bridge of Sighs
📍Admire Venice From Above at Campanile
📍Take a Gondola Ride
📍Cross the famous Rialto Bridge

We didn’t venture into the nearby islands, but from what I’ve heard they are worthy of exploring!

Stop 4: Cinque Terre 😍

Cinque Terre is a string of five ancient, colourful fishing villages in northwestern Italy’s Liguria region, known for their rugged coastal landscape, terraced vineyards, and picturesque architecture. The “Five Lands”—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore—are connected by scenic hiking trails and a local train line, forming the Cinque Terre National Park, a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. Key attractions include the hiking trails, local seafood and pesto, regional wine, and the unique atmosphere of each village.

This was my favourite stop on our trip! Was it busy? Absolutely! But it was just stunning and loved that the train connects you to all 5 villages so you can explore each of them - all offering something worth while seeing.

The Five Villages….

Monterosso al Mare:
The largest village, known for its beaches, lidos, and a wider variety of accommodation options.

Vernazza: A picturesque village with a bustling port, colourful houses, and a charming central piazza.

Corniglia: Perched high on a cliff, it’s a quieter village with unique streets and beautiful views.

Manarola: Famous for its iconic colourful houses cascading down the cliffside and its scenic beauty.

Riomaggiore: The southernmost village, it offers vibrant streets and a classic Italian coastal atmosphere.

We stayed in Corniglia, and it was the quietest but to reach the bottom to access the train, you have to take the bus which can mean queueing a little bit but I think it was worth it for the quiet streets in the height of summer.

We swam in the harbour, spent a day at the beach, ate far too much ice cream, and admired all the colours of each village.

Stop 3: Florence & Pisa

Geographically small but culturally rich, Florence — two hours northwest of Rome — is home to some of the greatest art and architecture in the world. Florence offers visitors a brimming bucket list of masterpieces, topped by Michelangelo’s David, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, and Brunelleschi’s heavenly dome.

Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. A turbulent political history included periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, religious and republican revolution. From 1865 to 1870 the city was also the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Florence is often known as the “Jewel of the Renaissance

We spent 2 nights in Florence and here’s some of things to explore:

📍Piazzale Michelangelo:
Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Florence, especially at sunset
📍Piazza della Signoria:
A historic gathering place with impressive sculptures and the Palazzo Vecchio - we had dinner in the evening in the piazza and a classic musical concert was playing and it was beautiful.
📍The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Florence Cathedral), also known as the Duomo di Firenze and Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, is the city’s shining star.
📍The Campanile di Giotto (Giotto’s Bell Tower) offers lovely views over all of Florence, just like the Cupola does, but it also grants you that iconic vantage point of the Dome itself
📍The Piazza della Signoria (Square of the Lordship) is another main square in Florence,There’s the Nettuno (Neptune) fountain, the David statue copy in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, and Loggia de Lanzi
📍Uffizi Gallery and/or Accademia Gallery
📍Explore the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens

Leaving Florence we stopped at Pisa… how could we not??

We had to do the standard poses, and see the leaning tower for ourselves. We had just enough time for lunch before we had to jump back on the train for our next stop…
