Montmorency Falls and Montreal

Image
Did you know that just 15 minutes outside of Quebec City is a waterfall taller than Niagara Falls? I didn't either. But once I found out I knew we had to go.  We drove to Montmorency Falls. There was a ticket to enter the falls. Once inside the visitor section we were offered a few ways to go up and down the falls. We took the cable car to the manor (additional ticket),walked along the suspension bridge and then made our way down the red staircase and walked across the river to make our way back to the visitor center. Across from where the picture is taken you can see the staircase we come down after crossing the suspension bridge.. they look scary but were thankfully sturdy.   Now on to Montreal. We stopped for burgers on the way to Montreal. Have you ever eaten St. Hubert's chicken burgers? Omg.. they were so good.  When we got to Montreal our first stop was Mount Royal. We dro ve up to the parking lot nearest Kondiaronk Belvedere and then walked the rest of the train to get

Montreal

From the picture perfect Ottawa we headed towards Montreal, which just our luck happened to be under construction. Yes, a major part of the city consisted of road blocks, detours and orange cones. So after going in circles and D tried from the long drive and now in hysterics, unfortunately we were already tired of Montreal. We were staying in the Latin Quarter, at Hotel Quartier des Spectacles aka Abri du Voyageur Hotel an interesting choice and I mean that in a good way. But if I went again I'd want to try something different. We were a bit far from Old Montreal but it didn't bother us much, we're walkers, we hardly felt the distance.
