Hotel Quartier Sainte Foy

... br>Danach konnten wir auch noch feststellen, dass das Wasser im Camper gefroren war!
Zum Glück haben wir im Motelzimmer übernachtet, dass war wohl ein Wink des Schicksals. Denn die Innentemperatur im Camper zeigte -2 Grad an.

Heute fuhren am St. Lorenz-Strom entlang nach Levis. Am Abend gönnten wir uns ein feines Schweizer Käsefondue. Mahlzeit!

... 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.

Monday, September 21 – Riviere-du-Loup... With the end of our adventure looming on the horizon we breakfasted at the Ristorante and set off westward, crossing the remarkable eleven kilometer Confederation Bridge into New Brunswick, back up the Saint John River Valley (again to Garmi's dismay) and on to Riviere-du-Loup. We had booked the Comfort Inn for the night because it was the closest accommodation to the St-Simeon ferry, which we hoped to take the next ...

... or initiation as the college year begins tomorrow. We see or hear them all over town.

We wander the narrow streets of Old Quebec admiring the architecture, churches and buildings dating back to the 1700’s. The streets are lined with small outdoor cafes, stone buildings are adorned with colorful flower boxes and hanging baskets. The historic center feels very much like a small European village. Our shuttle driver explained that they have very strict ...

... up.

Others milled around chatting or queuing for the portaloos whilst we sort of combined warming-up, milling around and chatting by trying to capture the event on camera.

Then it was time for the off.

This was a Hi-Tech affair with the volunteer personnel using hand-held scanners to record the bar codes on our bibs, both as a mean of both recording our times and also to ensure that no-one would be left on the trails. That was another thing that ...

... Maybe when I get back into the states I will go see a couple of Blackhawk games. Today is my last day of site seeing here in Quebec. I am not to sure what I want to see, so I'll just type in what happen and what I did today. So for bow Good Bye.

... and Quebec City have recently had lots of snow. Upon settling into our comfortable hotel, the Chateau Frontenac in the Old Quebec City, we gingerly walked on the snow (and some ice) covered sidewalks/footpaths to a nearby restaurant for dinner. We both loved the romantic 'real winter' feeling of the city. It is so different from any Australian city.

... hotel for a rest... Tonight..keeping with the French theme we went to a fondue restaurant called Petite Chateau next to the Chateau Frontenac for dinner... Cheese fondue to start with bread & veg. Then thinly slided beef to be cooked in a broth.. and of course Chocolate fondue with fresh fruits for dessert... !!! Fun & Yum O..! After dinner we walked over the broadwalk to watch street entertainment.. nice walk thru the old town back to the hotel... full day... !!

... about his Japanese wife and inviting us to stay with him. There was a big, nice bald-headed guy with Uncle Fester's voice who seemed at a loss in our English conversation. Several guys dressed like lumberjacks, whose hair looked like it had been slept on, interrogated us Canada-trekkers on the safety of hitchhiking. And, there was a sleepy-eyed girl who called herself "Destroyer" or something, who I was a bit scared of. "Destroyer" and Rafael and some others ...
