-15 today! Can it get any colder?!!! Didn`t want to be out in the cold for too long, so we decided to take a short walk to the German Christmas market as we read that it was open Friday - sunday. As we got there we found it still to be closed! We were so disappointed! We popped into the tourist information centre to ask when the market is actually open and found out that it was 4pm, so we decided to come back to it later. As we were already out we walked to th...

-10 today but yet we decided to brave it once again!

The architecture is amazing here in Québec; every building is stunning! Place-...

Everyone was playing snow ball fights, making snow angels and generally running around in the snow! The scenery once we approached the fa...

We signed up with one of hostels activities today - the ferry crossing over to Québec Lévis, crossing the St.Lawrence river. Whilst walking to the docks we walked through a part of Québec city where we hadn`t been before and discovered that there`s so much more to see here! Once over at Québec Lévis we were taken to a chocolate shop where the outside of the shop was completely covered with Christmas decorations. We were then taken to the museum "Mai...
