Well here we are in the heart of French speaking Canada. Not only is the language like France but so are the mannerisms and behaviours. There is an abruptness and rudeness that is quite disconcerting. It is quite hard to justify the 15% - 20% tip they expect on everything. The city is really very impressive with its 18th century fortifications and amazing architecture. The tourism is extremely busy with several cruise ships in each day including the QE2. We did a hop-on hop-off tour on the first day to get an idea of the lie of the land and then spent our time strolling around the points of interest. Our train to Montreal does not go until 5.45 pm so we essentially have a third day here with more to see. Autumn colours becoming more impressive, see photos.
