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!
