This morning we have some time off in Montreal. Time
for some shopping in one of the largest underground shopping malls
in the World. There is almost an entire underground city in
Montreal. Shops, entertainment buildings such as cinemas and metro
stations are connected via an underground passage which is the size
of several blocks. Shops, offices and apartment buildings above the
ground are connected as well. In the winter time when it's very cold
you don't have to come outside for months if you like. You can live,
go to work, go shopping and entertain yourself just by staying
inside and underground. Then we enter our bus and via the old Olympic
Park and stadium we leave Montreal.
On our way to Quebec we have lunch near a shrine: Notre Dame Du
Cap in Cap de la Madeleine. In 1984 Pope John Paul II visited this
shrine.
Then we take the touristic route to Quebec,
the only Canadian city with complete old city walls. After arriving
in our hotel in the center of Quebec, we explore the city on foot.
We will stay for two nights here in Quebec. |
