Well having stayed in Montreal for about 8 days in the last days of December, I do recommend bringing some heavy clothing for the winter time. The city sidewalks and streets were completely covered in snow for the 8 days I was there. But forgetting about the freezing cold winter temperatures a…

Haven't been to Montreal since I was a child. For sure a cool city with a nice vibe. My friend Mario, when he saw I was planning this trip, offered to meet up for a beer. Of course I'm up for that. So I met Mario and Val in the Square Victoria (they recognized me from my profile photo). We decided…

Un petit souvenir de l'Expo 67, de l'ex-pavillon américain : la Biosphère de Montréal! Et pour ceux qui sont comme moi, un peu "grano", un brin révoltés et plutôt écolo, la vocation actuelle de la grosse boule rassure: c'est un musée pour l'environnement et l'eau. L'eau est une ressource u…

Went to Canada in May. Toronto, Niagra, and Montreal! Tulips were in full bloom. People were very friendly. Loved it!!

International Flora - The Montréal Garden Festival is a showcase for new ideas and new garden passions for all to see. And take pictures, of course :)

We decided to spend our last day in Montreal going up Mont Royal to the North of downtown as the views of the city were supposed to be stunning. When we decided this, we obviously had not considered that this would mean steep hills and lots of steps. However, when we got higher we realised that it …

Another lazy start to the day, finally out of hostel at 10.30.  The weather looked good so we decided to walk up Mont Royal.  This is a hill above the city that the locals think is a mountain.  Its about 230m high and is covered with 2 square km of woodland.  We went the quick w…

Well, I meetup with my Mate Matt at the airport and spent the weekend wandering around the city.  Eating is fabulous and I highly recommend the Schwarts Smoked Meat Sandwiches.  The Sun is out and the entire city seems to be in bohemian mode.  Walked up the Mount Real (which gave Mon…
