Sorry guys, computers are few and far between and the ones that do work are very expensive (i know - terry tightarse...).
But here I am! The last few days has seen my travel from Halifax to Quebec City and then onto Montreal, which is where i'm reporting from now.
Quebec City - I stayed right in the heart of the old city walls at the Hostel. This place was picture perfect, as was the weather. Only a couple of Aussies around thank god, but had a few beers with them and ended up at some bizarro nightclub listening to a band place Kylie and Jamiroquai covers. The next day ventured out and walked the perimeter of the fortified section of town and did a tour of the Citadel.

French is the predominant language here and english isn't spoken in great amounts, but somehow i managed. Another walking tour in the arvo allowed me to see some glass blowing and other handicrafts in the lower section of town towards the river. Met a few Englishmen in the hostel bar, and also discovered that a pubcrawl was on. Quite a funny night as we progressively had nicknames for all the crawlers from different countries.Onto Montreal the next day by bus and as it turned out, just about everyone who was on the crawl, ended up on the bus. a few of which were staying at my hostel. A quick look around the local area of the hostel and then met with Keith and Paul (the englishmen from the night before) for a few quiet ones, followed by a few louder ones including Rye and Dry's (Canadian Club's with ginger ale apparently). Somehow they tracked down an 80's night a a french nightclub here, so off we went. Language was no barrier as the music kicked in! A-Ha, Plastic Bertrand all sounded the same, infact we knew the lyrics to most of the songs better than the locals.
Yesterday i took in the sights of old Montreal around the harbour, and treated myself to the new Cirque de Soleil show. Absolutely fab!
Today I got up early and walked up Mont Royal to get a view of the city then walked over to Little Italy, follwed by the Metro back to the inner city.
Domestic Dan tonight, with some laundry and organising to do for the next few days. One more day here, then off to Niagara Falls.
