Happy Birthday Jan! Zum seinem 35igsten Geburtstag durfte Jan in einem wunderbar warmen Bett aufwachen. Ist das nicht schön?! Nach einem Frühstück, welches wir uns im Motel gönnten, schauten wir nach unserem Camper.<br><br>Die Scheiben waren gefroren! Kein Wunder bei -7 Grad!!! Jan musste leider mit einem Kärtchen die Scheibe kratzen! Das kommt Priska sicher bekannt vor ...

... the Citadel, a fortified military base that is still in use today. We venture into the Chateau Frontenac overlooking the harbour and there at the dock is our ship. We brave the cold as long as we dare and decide to end the tour and board our ship early.

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>

... September 22 &#8211; To Quebec City... The drive to Quebec City was uneventful and we were on the Pierre-Laporte Bridge crossing the St Lawrence River before noon. From then on it was every man for himself as we weaved and dodged our way through the madness that is Quebec City traffic, eventually arriving at Le Dauphine Hotel just off Highway 40. <br><br>The Hotel was a pleasant surprise but Quebec City never really had a chance with us. In addition to the ...

... back to the Hotel for an early night. <br><br>Thanks to quite a bit of snoring, I don't think we all had much sleep though!! :p<br><br>Got up pretty early the next day to head further north to Tadoussac, to get the chance to do some whale watching in the Gulf of St.Lawrence. Got there at mid day, another fairly good drive, and got geared up to jump on a Zodiac. <br>Another perfect day, and we saw 4 different sorts! So that was pretty ...

... I rejoined Jen a short while later and we headed back to the van. Jen had to walk her travel chair down the steep slope (something for her to hang onto as she did not have her cane) and I hung on to her! We both decided that next time we visit, we'll bring Jen's big wheelchair that has more "oomph" and stability to negotiate the uneven pavement and steep and hilly terrain. We took a drive through the lower old town and took some more pictures. Then we ...

... by the 400 year birthday of Quebec City has anglicized things a bit. This morning we woke with an alarm...yuck, so we could tackle our tours. Yes, more than one. We booked a morning Old City tour and an afternoon country tour. The morning tour was good, if a bit bewildering...Quebec City is not exactly a grid! The tour was bilingual, which added to my confusion, since my brain doesn't seem to know that ...

... the songs, even if they weren't sure of the lyrics! The concert itself was a bit rubbish, Akon played about two of his own songs, the rest of the time was spent playing small 30 snippets of other people's work and shouting 'QUEBEC CITY' every five seconds. We left early. I bought a Quebec festival T shirt on the way out, I think I should probably stop buying t-shirts now. We then went on to the 'Plain White Ts' concert, they were very good - they played ...

... donné qu'un bon ami et moi-même projetons d'aller en Europe cet automne, j'avais décidé d'y aller pour m'informer lors de mon passage à Québec ; ce devait être le lendemain, jeudi. Et bien, tant qu'à l'avoir trouvé, aussi bien y entrer ! Après plusieurs dizaines de minutes, je suis ressorti, bourré d'informations ; apparemment, la date du 5 septembre se prêterait bien à un début de nos escapades européennes, à Pierre-Luc et à moi. Je l'informerai de la chose ce ...
