Today we spent about six hours exploring Quebec City and I think it has to be in the top ten in the world. The architecture of the buildings, the spotless streets, the beautifully manicured gardens and lawns, great restaurants, it's just a fabulous place. Our first stop was the market which had everything available, full of people and heaps of varieties. We walked on to the railway station which was built in the early 1900s, it was just mind boggling ornate frescos, stained glass windows so beautifully designed. We then caught the HoHo bus and spent over three hours driving around the City, the weather was kind and quite warm around 22 degrees.
The outstanding building towering over the City is the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac Hotel as you can see from the photos.
We had lunch at a lovely restaurant spoiled only by the waiter demanding a tip, he was given one but not as much if he hadn't been so rude.
We also passed about fifty fully dressed brides and failed to find out if they were actually being married, what a day, if you want to visit a great place make sure you include Quebec City.
