We took a metro down to the Biodome and went over to the Giles Villneave circuit the home of Canadian Formula 1. Later in the day we have bonded a little bit more with the people in the hostel and we are outside with them playing a French drinking game called DIXIT. Now whilst writing this blog I should account for any gramatical or spelling errors by pointing out http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Quebec/Montreal/South-Shore/blog-274329.html Tom Overlooking Montreal there is a large 3 peaked hill called Mount Royal which the clever people in wikiland 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.

Montreal has a lovely old town which could put you in the middle of a small quaint French town that was worth the walk. Coming out from the old town we mooched on down to the river side to have a look around. Nice place but alot of construction work is taking place at the mo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Quebec/Montreal/Saint-Laurent/blog-273620.html Tim We are now in Montreal. We took the train from Toronto to Montreal it took us 5 hours on the train. It is all French here We might as well be in France Found the hostel really easily and it is very nice. You know it is going to be good when the first things someone says to you is Hi we are going off to find a bar would you like to come Facilities are really great here and the people r http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Quebec/Montreal/South-Shore/blog-273346.html Mein erster Tag begann gegen Mittag und sollte sich als unerwartete Stadterkundung hervorheben d.h. viel laufen.Ichsollte naemlich meine Miete zu unserem vermieter bringen der hat sein Buero nur leider nicht bei uns um die Ecke wie ich dachte sondern am aussersten gegenueberliegenden Ende von Downtown.Mein erster Weg fuehrte mich somit zur mir am naechsten liegenden Bank of Montreal da ich ja b http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Quebec/Montreal/blog-273299.html Montreal meine neue Stadt.Am 29.April sollte es eigentlich losgehen dachte ich zumindestens.War mal wieder total im Packstress und obwohl ich nur einen Monat bei meinen Mexikanern gewohnt habe hatte ich schon wieder zuvielen Krimskrams angsammeltNa ja bin trotzdem puenktlich los und habe mich mit meinem Gepaeck durch Downtown durchgeschlagen.

I met up with some friends from Ottawa who came to support me as I shared about my upcoming trip to Rwanda. My Montreal crew organized a great dinner and we enjoyed some dancing later that night. Sunday was spent sharing at two churches in Montreal.
