Day 4 - exploring the old town

We have nothing much planned for today. Quebec city is actually very compact and easy to navigate. It is VERY hilly, so you need to pace yourself, even in such a small area. We had a few things we wanted to see, so we had a lazy walk into the old town (about 20 minutes from our apartment) and went to a really nice crepe restaurant. We had walked past this a few times, and breakfast seemed the perfect time to go in.

Andrew had ham and asparagus, I had mushroom and onion and Oliver had Oreo and chocolate sauce. Very filling and very delicious.

We walked to the lovely Frontenac Hotel (supposedly the most photographed hotel in the world) and decided to go in for a look around. The rooms here are super expensive, but it was easy to walk in and use the nice loos and explore the main common areas.

We then walked around the cobbled streets of the lower part of the old town. The streets are so cute, lovely independent shops and sweet houses. We found umbrella alley which was getting busy with people posing for photos,

It was getting hot now, so we walked into a small cave like room to find that it was a place where you wear a VR headset and get a history of Quebec. It was cool in there, so we did that and then played some games after which were questions based on the film. I came last (should have listened) and Andrew won (as always).

We then wandered around doing a little shopping and taking photos. I think we have seen all this little city has to offer. It’s been really nice.
