We were up relatively early so as we could plan our day. We
had heard off a few people than if in Montreal a must do is a visit to the old
historic part of town. We had thought we’d have to catch a bus and figure out
how to get to this part of town and so decided to Google Map it. You can
imagine our relief when the old town popped up just a 20 minute walk from our
hotel.
Our busy day then became a very leisurely day walking around
the historic section of Montreal. This scenic walk in the sun also included a
walk to the old port where we sat and relaxed for a while. We didn’t really do
much other than stroll around this section of town until we decided it was time
to head back, stopping to pick up some tea and some snacks for tomorrow’s train
journey.
Tea tonight was a whole cooked chicken which we shared and
put into a baguette which we carved up to give us some simple sandwiches.
After tea we had some time to shower and pack before our
last sleep in a hotel room for a couple of weeks.
The small part of Montreal that we’ve seen was nice though
we were both shocked at how French this City is. We knew it is a
French-Canadian part of the country but were shocked at the extent of the
French-ness! All the signs in the city are in French only it would seem which
caused us a little confusion on a couple of occasions. Still, it’s a nice place
to visit and we’d probably spend some more time here if we visited again.
