Every time I've visited Quebec I never went to the Citadel as its a trek out of the way to get there and I didnt want to pay the admission when I was on lower budgets. Now when I wanted to go yesterday all the museums were closed so I had to push it to today.Today I would give it one last try. I named it the curse of the citadel.

There wasnt anything allowed to see inside except for the main corridor.Further into Old Town I descended to to Quartier Petit Cha...

Monday morning I was going to take a bus trip outside of town to the Ice Hotel. I think this originated in Sweden and has been copied a few times over. I thought it was outside the city but is within city limits.There is a return shuttle bus for $35 but when I emailed for the pickup point and schedule I got no response. Then I found a city bus that stops a block away and traced the walk on google maps.Bus 801 which is the main trunk line bus thru the city runs fr...
