Quebec City Canada Montmorency Falls

Our second day in this delightful city turned out to be a wet foggy day for our tour of the Montmorency Falls about 15 km from the City. Our coach took us to the top of the falls where we walked across the bridge to view the river feeding the falls. we walked down to a platform to see the falls coming down. A cable car then took us to the base of the falls to view them from another direction. These falls aren't as big as Niagara but are higher we were told.
We then went over the river to D'Orlens an island adjacent to Quebec City. This is where all the fruit and produce are grown. This area is very spectacular lots of quaint houses and farms. A visit to a factory where they make maple leaf syrup from tapping into the bark of over 1500 trees where they collect the maple leaf water and reduce it over heat to make the syrup.
We arrived in Montreal this morning and have settled into a lovely suite where we will stay until Wednesday.
