Old Montréal Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Arrived Sunday evening on VIA Rail Canada (the train). We traveled from Niagara Falls through Toronto. The ride was about 5 hours long and went well. The cost was around $170 each. Trains are very clean and roomy. We arrived in Montreal's train station at 9:50pm and found a room online for $99. The hotel is the Grand Plaza Centre-Ville. It's a nice clean hotel. The cab ride to the hotel cost about $10. We were warned by the cab driver that some of the areas near the hotel is not safe. We took his advice and stayed in and ordered [View Full Entry]

A caustic chill is brewing in the air. A fortnight ago Dave and I were cruising through our local farmers market in shorts and a tan. We went to sleep one night and awoke in a spectacularly frozen stupor. Wrapped in thermals, gloves, beanies and knee-high waterproof boots, our morning stroll through Central Park has transmuted into an epic battle against the harshest elements. I think I might be to blame. After 3 days of roadtripping through frostbitten French Canada, the Miller-King family and I farewelled boring Montreal (with gigantic smiles), lost a passenger (Robot) and inadvertent [View Full Entry]

Beste bloggers,Swingers & Fluffers Na een lange periode van stilte.....Aanschouw de nieuwe editie van A&I in Canada. Er is een beetje te veel gebeurd hier om jullie overal van mee te laten genieten maar hier toch een poging met een wat beknopte versie. Naast onze gezinsuitbreiding hier op St Marc met 2 sportvissen aka Charles& Orangina is de familie Slobbe/Kooistra ook uitgebreid. Hij luistert naar de naam Julian en is een helft van een 2-eiige tweeling helaas is zijn zus Fleur niet meer bij ons. Verder maken pappa en mamma het goed (naast wat slaap te kort waarschijnlijk). Julian g [View Full Entry]

Première entrée... petit test juste pour voir On a hâte, on est énervés, on se peut pu, on stresse en se demandant ce qu'on a pu oublier, ce qui reste à faire... y reste à peine une semaine avant de faire le sac et de décoller, c'est la folie ! J'ai encore plein de questions, je sais que j'en aurai encore même si j'avais encore deux mois pour me préparer, c'est pu grave, faut s'y faire, à l'incertitude, on s'y attend... c'est paradoxal. Anyway, on a hâte et on attend ! [View Full Entry]

Aimée et la map

We took the VIA rail train from Toronto to Montreal on Tuesday afternoon, August 18th. The ride was 5 hours long, but we got no sleep as the train was quite bumpy. We arrived after nightfall and walked the 10 blocks to our previously-booked hotel in downtown Montreal. By this time, the realization that we had taken too much has definitely hit as we were having a hard time lugging our laptops and our fully-packed backpacks. Our plan was to make it to Newfoundland and leave our laptops and other "we-thought-it-might-need-it" stuff with my parents, and not take it with us [View Full Entry]

Bonjour! We have spent the past two days in Montreal and have really enjoyed our stay. We felt an immediate culture shock when we arrived. This massive, french speaking, classy dressed city is so different from the small, laid back, casually dressed towns that we've camped in and visited the past week. We walked around town and visited the underground mall (nothing too exciting). Apparently, there is going to be an international jazz festival beginning here in a few days. The city is busy setting up for the event. Looks like it's going to be fun! Our hotel here, Le Relais [View Full Entry]

We had Friday off school so we went to watch Martin play ice hockey. It was really good to watch but it was also very rough. They played against the girls and they won. It was his last game for the season. We then went home and packed to go to Quebec city. We left home around 630-7pm Friday night and arrived in Quebec around 845pm. We stayed at some friends place. They have two girls that are a lot younger than me. In the morning we headed into town to the old part of Quebec. We arrived down near the [View Full Entry]

Hallo aan uw allen. Hier nog een beloofde editie. Aangezien wij zo'n 4000 foto's hadden geschoten in Oeganda en ik ook nog geen gorilla foto's op de blog had gezet is hier speciaal voor jou deze extra editie. Verder gaat hier in Montreal alles zoals het hoort. We zijn aan het eerste niveau van de franse taal begonnen. Dit is een cursus van 7 weken met 2 lesdagen van 3 uur. Heavy shit maar wel erg leuk om te doen. Er wordt alleen Frans gesproken wat wel wat lastig is. Ook de moeite waard om te melden is dat ik (Aar) [View Full Entry]

After a short rest yesterday, we took a cab to dinner at the famous Globe Cafe. When we arrived at 6pm, we were the only ones there. Our lovely waitress, Karolyne said most people dine around 7 or 8pm. We started with some French champagne to go with our oysters. They were small, sweet, and very flavorful. We followed that with our main dishes. Sheri had the cod, which was excellent. But I had the duck breast and orange-braised fennel, which might have been the best duck I have had in about ten years. Wow. To top it off, Karolyne suugested [View Full Entry]
