Thanks for the revist to old city and the Frontenac area. The tram is a life saver---- lots of stairs on the way there. We did a great tour to Montmorency Falls ,St. Ann's Cathedral and a sweet chocolate shoppe on an island in the center of the river. You have time to do it all if your ship overnights in Quebec (best choice ever--- the lights on the Frontenac @ night are tre romantique!)

Loved Loved Breton Thunder! What a rollicking good time. I am making supper and dancing in the kitchen to the tunes. Kudos to HAL for bringing local talent onboard, from the region you're sailing in.

Canadian ports only and a stop in St Pierre Et Miquelon. No large airports, no Customs, and Canadian currency everywhere. Montreal to Montreal. Thanks Mr and Mrs Canuck.

Brought me back to our trip with our boys from Ottawa to Montreal by car, and by train from Montreal to Quebec City. We stayed at a VRBO within the Old City walls. Nothing like eating poutine at a restaurant with a view of Chateau Frontenac, wandering around the old city walls and viewing the Plains of Abraham. My son and I went under the boardwalk to see the ruins of the original governor's mansion, etc. and the other son, on the Spectrum, trying to fish lost coins from between the boards along the boardwalk. If you go back, it might be worth your while to get out to Montmorency waterfall... but wait... Jill may not enjoy the gondola ride up or, alternatively, the multitude of steps up to the top of the escarpment.🤣 Also, there's an interesting lane full of local artists displaying their works of art for sale.

We usually do a ship tour to accompany each vlog series. For folks who want a complete tour of the ship (without seeing our faces once!), they can get a narrated, guided tour. For those wanting to see what we find and do around the ship and ports, the vlogs take a more personal approach.
