Thursday was spent in Quebec City. We spent a few days here on a vacation several years ago and it is one of the most romantic cities in the world. As with Montreal, French is the official language and the city has a lot of French influence.
When we selected our tours we were sitting in our living room at home - not thinking about the temperatures in Canada in October. It was a very brisk 41 degrees and windy when we set out for our walking tour of this beautiful city!
The Hotel Frontenac is a beautiful property in the upper city. The board walk of the hotel is bordered by the St. Laurence River and has breathtaking views of the city below. We spent some time there in the afternoon enjoying "high tea" and confections.
We walked through some beautiful cathedrals and churches downtown before making our way back to the ship. Here are a few pictures...
By the end of the afternoon, we were VERY happy to get back to our room and warm up!
