Classique Quebec City

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... br>Danach konnten wir auch noch feststellen, dass das Wasser im Camper gefroren war! <br>Zum Glück haben wir im Motelzimmer übernachtet, dass war wohl ein Wink des Schicksals. Denn die Innentemperatur im Camper zeigte -2 Grad an.<br><br>Heute fuhren am St. Lorenz-Strom entlang nach Levis. Am Abend gönnten wir uns ein feines Schweizer Käsefondue. Mahlzeit!<br><br><br><br>

The stories of Quebec City being a piece of Europe located right here in Canada are so true. The buildings, the streets and the shops are intriguing and offer much to explore. We board a free electric shuttle that motors all through old Quebec. We venture ...

We depart mid afternoon to Toronto and catch a delayed connection to Quebec City to arrive very late Thursday evening. Our stay is at a the Hotel Chateau Laurier, a mid range full service hotel adjacent to the Military Armoury. The room is small but the price is just right. There is a St Hubert Chicken in the Hotel - this place also serves breakfast. <br><br><br>

... home of the Royal 22nd Regiment, the famous Van Doos, and is also an official residence of the Governor General. Anyway we cast about in rainy futility on the Plains of Abraham trying to figure out how to get inside of the actual fort. Up hills and down hills and along steep parapets; we could see cars parked inside so we knew damn well there had to be an entrance somewhere.<br><br>Eventually we found the secret and joined up with a guide who led us on a tour ...

... guides !! We tripped up and down narrow cobble-stone roads past shops and bakery's and took the tram to the upper part so that we could see the huge statue of Champlain himself and go through the newly excavated old original fort. Everyone was so kind and good to us and you truly felt a world away ! Anyway, Morgan now wants to learn french this year and put together her portfolio to go to Art School here !! It would be right up her alley and how fun for us to visit her ! One thing about ...

... as a big bed and your own bar you get a small private outside area with your own Jacuzzi and hot tub. Nice. Like a proper Hotel, there is a bar where we had some drinks. You could even pay by credit card! Drinks are served in massive 'ice cubes' with the centre part removed for the liquid. I had a Baileys and it was tricky to drink because instinctively you want to put your lips on the edge of the 'vessel' to drink but because the ice cube is so thick and square and to ...

"Fending for myself" has lead me in some interesting directions lately. Especially in the nourishment department. I'm not a great chef, so lots of my meals have been sandwiches, or cereal for breakfast, etc. Sometimes I'll be hit with a spark of creativity (or pang of hunger) and will follow up with seemingly ...

... were running towards us! It turns out that they had found a taxi soon after us, and theirs was a bit of a maniac diver! - they had actually overtaken us on the way back! After all this there wasn't much else to do except go to sleep, so we said goodnight and went off to our rooms. It seems that not everyone was as lucky as we were, the busses had been running infrequently, with seemingly random stoppages, so loads of people got back and were given a ticket! We were lucky.

... un repas dans un restaurant style portugais (toujours sur le "site" de l'hôtel), et qu'on m'y avait servi une monstrueuse brochette de morceaux de viande. C'était délicieux, mais je me demande maintenant si la brochette n'était pas pour tous les gens autour de la table au complet. Énorme, j'vous dis. Puis, après quelques jours, le temps a passé, et mine de rien c'est déjà l'heure du... ...Grand retour ! À notre arrivée à Québec, l'esprit encore ...
