Tom: Overlooking Montreal there is a large 3 "peaked" hill called Mount Royal, which the clever people in wiki-land inform us gave the city it's name. So having been promised a postcard view we headed for the hills. Much sweat and even more grunts later we'd climbed to 2 of the 3 "summits" and the views were amazing, with panoramic views across Montreal and the surrounding countryside. After a pause at the top to enjoy the view we decided to visit the cross on another of the hills peaks that can be seen illuminated at night from all around Montreal, however [View Full Entry]

Tim: Fully rested, washed and recovered from the beer last night we set out to discover some of what Montreal has to offer.

Once I was there, it was ok. [View Full Entry]

Now thats the question isnt it! How cold can it really get. Well to let all you people in WARM England, it is around -20 C at the momment. We are in Montreal, in a dinky hostel surrounded by french people! Thats it people, the french linguist that is Matt Veira graces Quebec with his fast French tounge. I wish that was the case, but no. Stupidly, me and Randy Mather (my accomplist), did not read up much on Montreal, and found out as we arrived at Montreals main station, that it was practically all French speaking. This was fine in [View Full Entry]
