Montreal Day 1

Arrived Montreal, checked into our hotel, lunch and exploring ...

We arrived into Montreal around lunchtime. After checking into our hotel we were sitting in a cafe having lunch and watching this film shooting on the other side of the street!

Didn't seem to be much action going on! 

Typical street in the old part of Montreal 

This is Terri and Anne heading back into our hotel, Auberge Bonaparte. It is perfectly located, right in the centre of the old part of Montreal 

Horse drawn carriage rides ($48 for 30 minutes) are very popular  

Bank of Montreal Museum on the Place d'Armes 

Statue in the centre of the Place d'Armes 

Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, also on the Place d'Armes

The whole of the Place d'Armes from the steps of the Notre-Dame Basilica

Inside the Notre-Dame Basilica 

The very ornate altar of the Notre-Dame Basilica 

The 7,000 pipe organ of the Notre-Dame Basilica which was being played when we entered the Basilica, fabulous! 

Montreal City Hall just next to the Place Jacques-Cartier 

Anne jumping for joy in front of a fountain near Champ de Mars 

Looking for a place for dinner is very hard as there are hundreds of restaurants to choose from! 

There seems to be restaurants on every corner and down every street 

The waterfront and marina had some expensive craft moored 

This the front of the Montreal City Hall from the Place Jacques-Cartier 

After dinner we wandered back to our hotel admiring the illuminated buildings and streets 

a beautiful night for a wander ...

Still plenty of people around after 9.30 at night!

The illuminated Notre-Dame Basilica. Time for bed!
