Claire & Mike's Big Trip
Hello!
We are having a fab time in Canada. Montreal was ok, not much to do there though other than climb the Mont Royal which we did. Other than that all we really did was shop! Still, we now own all the camping equipment we could possibly need (Mike\'s been carrying it, I tried but the odds of me managing to walk in a straight line are slim at the best of times, with a 10 tonne backpack, tent, sleeping bag and mat it was near impossible).
Anyway, we managed to pick up our hire car and Mike managed to drive his way out of Montreal (with me navigating might I add). Now we\'re in Quebec City which is really lovely, very old, lots of tacky souvenir shops for me to look in). Today started off well with Mike nearly giving Rene, the owner of our B & B, a heart attack. The poor man was just showing us where to park the car when Mike did a full blown emergency stop (apparently he thought he was still in a manual and was going for the clutch). Rene was very polite about it but he did go a bit white.
After that we walked along the ramparts and had a guided tour of the citadel, which was good. Tomorrow we head off in our hire car into the horizon, hopefully we will make it as far as New Brunswick, then Nova Scotia the next day...
Nothing else to report, Mike has been sampling the local beers, and has now set his sights on trying a Moosehead beer (he\'s tried all the others).
Love Claire x
