So returning to Montreal briefly and my second visit to the largely French speaking province in Canada. My highlights were our great train ride into Montreal from Toronto and the great service VIA Rail offered including free Internet (hence some dodgy brief BLOG updates) and a drinks cart with the hostess loving my True Blood books and keeping me updated on the series!
Then would have to be our first afternoon there checking out the old town and the festival atmosphere, it was incredible it felt like we were somewhere in Europe not North America.
Then would have to be our night out where we checked out the gay strip and saw Go Go bars, a crazy disco where we had to pay an outrageous $4 cover charge, what a rip off!!!! Then we moved into a mighty funny karaoke bar where the host was just itching to get his "Only Girl in the World On"!
Finally our Kayaking adventure would also have to be a highlight as I did go into the Canal and we got to check out some more of the amazing city that was Montreal, oh and the shopping kicked Toronto's butt it was amazing, especially when they had the streets lined with vendors and the underground shopping system was a buzz, just amazing!
I loved Montreal and I may even want to learn French now, the experience was amazing and out of this world, great holiday to date and stick around for the road to Texas to continue.....
