Dre took me to Fort Denison for my birthday lunch and it was awesome. On a grey Sydney day we explored the Fort and the food was delicious. We then caught up with our friends for the first time since we have been back in Sydney so it was a great day all round.
As our final special treat, of many that Canada has served us, we got to fly over the Rockies while watching the glorious purple sunset. We can’t wait to go back to this awe-inspiring country, we have had such an amazing trip and look forward to seeing more of it’s beauty.
After 6 nights in our plateau apartment that we had rented for the full week, we decided to end our Canada trip in style. We have been so spoilt on this trip, staying in such amazing and breathtaking hotels that we thought it would be fitting to end the trip this way as well. So, we checked out of the little apartment early, and headed straight back to our original Montreal hotel, Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. It was definitely a fantastic way to spend our last night. We checked into their premium royal suite – and what can we say? IT ROCKED!!!! A few pics of the suite are here.
We spent a day in the Biodome – where there are several different climates in different divisions of the one place. They have created a tropical forest, Laurentian forest, marine ecosystem, Arctic and Antarctic climates. As a result there is a huge range of animals and plants to see. To see our photos click here.
We have had a great few days and have managed to see quite a few things… We visited the world famous Schwartz’s for some smoked meat – the second time we both ate meat in Canada. We also visited Habitat 67 (above) to see the iconic housing built for expo 67 and the most expensive housing in Montreal on the sought after waterfront. Another place we went is Notre-Dame Basilica (below). We nearly didn’t go into the Basilica and were SO glad as it was truly awesome. We even managed to stumble into the Montreal food and wine festival and had a great time there. Some more photos are here.
