And boy did it live up to its reputation for winter, it was freezing, but to be honest it was beyond that, it was way way below freezing about 20 C below freezing, add in the wind chill and it was a ball shrinkingly cold weekend. The awesome foursome making up this little trip Rachael, Gen, Matt and myself. For me the weekend held a little more significance as February the 4th was the occasion of my 21st Birthday, but more on that later. It had been my responsibility to organise the hire car for the w/e which I had duly [View Full Entry]

After two nights in Montreal we drove to Quebec City. We stayed in Old Quebec which is a lot bigger than Old Montreal. This place is truly spectacular. The buildings are so old, the streets are cobbled and at night it feels like a fairy land! Old Quebec City has some amazing history. Old Quebec is an old fort village and the only walled city in North America. Jacques Cartier laid claim to Quebec City in 1534 and it eventually became the capital of French Canada and all of New France. "The Battle of the Plains of Abraham" took place in [View Full Entry]

QUEBEC CITY AND ONWARDS! More photos up on site of this, as well as of Toronto - some Billy Connolly photos from Bennie - cheers for that - on photo site. I flew from Toronto to Quebec, via Montreal. The plane I was flying from Montreal to Quebec in was tiny! I was absolutely crapping it during take off, the weird noises it was making...however worse was yet to come as arriving in Quebec my crazy taxi driver didnt speak English and obviously the French must not have a word for 'lane' as he didnt appear to know what these were [View Full Entry]

Verena, André und ich sind für einen Tag nach Quebec City, während die ranzosen (pauline & patrick) schonmal vorgefahren sind zum Mont Tremblant um einen Tag Ski zu fahren. Die Altstadt von Quebec City (rund um das hotel/schloss frontenac) ist klein & schön, ansonsten haben wir noch nen 83m hohen wasserfall gesehen, auf dem weg nach Mont Tremblant. [View Full Entry]

Day 91..... We were welcomed across the Canadian boarder (without being interrogated for a change!) into New Brunswick. Our first stop was Fundy National Park, famous for the world's largest tides! As the tourist season had come to an end, it felt as though we had the whole park to ourselves. We made the most of the remaining sunshine and kept up with our walking, until Martin spotted a rather 'lonely' looking golf course! As 'pitch n' putt' is more Angela's cup of tea, she played the role of caddy (don't get too used to that Martin, we were on holiday!). [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Quebec City in the late afternoon. Prior to my arrival I did not have big expectations for this city, however I was proven wrong. Quebec City is a quaint little town. There are not so many attractions, however this city gives you a certain feeling. It seemed to be a bit more French than Montreal. We ate a crepe restaurant which was my first time at an exclusive crepe restaurant. The next day we woke and set out to tour the city. We walked to get our croissant and latte and headed through the city walls. We first [View Full Entry]

I'm back in Montreal after a two days excursion to Quebec City which is three hours by train from Montreal. Unfortunately the excursion didn't turn out to be as nice as I had hoped for. There was nothing wrong with Quebec City, quite the opposite actually, it's one of the nicest, oldest and cosiest cities in North America, the problem was the weather which was cold (only 6-8 degrees), windy, grey and rainy. And as if that wasn't enough, the evening before I left Montreal I felt I was about to get a cold, which I also got the following day, [View Full Entry]
