Janet & Ali's Big Adventure April 2008 Day 11 - freezing in montreal

Montrea - lots of churches, lots of smokers and very cold! The maximum temperature today was 5c, so it was very chilly. My chin went numb and my nose turned red.



We walked around Montreal all day - we went to lots of shops and visited the Basilica of Notre Dame which was amazing. It cost $5 to get in and inside was lit amazingly. It was tricky to get a good photo, but hopefully some of them worked.

We walked around Old Montreal, and then headed back towards the hotel. It actually started raining ice. brrrrrrr. We had a bargain dinner for under $10 for both of us - 2 huge slices of Pizza and a can of coke each for $4.39. Bargain!!

Janet & Ali's Big Adventure Day 10 - training day!

Yes, time to catch the VIA train to Montreal!! We caught a taxi down the hill to the station and waited a couple of hours for our train. When we got on it was great! Very roomy & comfy.

It was amazing to see all the snow surrounded houses, icy rivers & frozen swimming pools from the window. A few hours later and we were in Montreal. Following our Google directions, we made it to our hotel on foot. We are on the 11th floor and have a King bed. First room we've had with a view of anything other than a wall - so I tried out the cameras night time setting. We headed to Nickels Restaurant for Dinner (Celine's Restaurant). Janet had Lasagne & I had Pasta Primavera. We shared a piece of Celine CHocolate Cake, which was the biggest piece of cake I ever saw. Far out. We couldn't finish it. I photographed the whole event, then home to bed.

There was a big hockey game on and everyone out was dressed in the red & blue shirts. The right team must have won, because we heard lots of horn tooting outside.
