Day 30 - Ottawa - Montreal, Canada
Day 30 – 8th July 2005 -5:00 GMT Total Miles 8472
Had a lie in as we did not need to check out until 12pm. Set of on the 2 hour journey to Montreal and arrived at 3pm after a brief stop for lunch. On route we crossed over the Province line into Quebec, now everything is in French, and everyone speaks French. Eventually got checked into our hotel room at the holiday Inn after a room change due to the room lock not working. Then we set out to explore Montreal. The centre is quite grubby but when you get to the old town it feels like your in Paris. We had dinner on a outside table at the roadside. Then walked along the river and came across a jazz band playing so stayed and watched, then walked back through the old town and decided to visit the Montreal International Jazz Festival, we stayed and watched a band on the main stage for a hour or so and then saw a funk band on a smaller stage.
