So from Quebec City we hired a car and drove 8 hours down the coast to Niagra Falls. We had asked for a little economy car, but when we went to pick it up all they had left was a huge white van! So.. since we have rapidly been going through our funds, and considering car hire and accommodation is quite expensive over here, we decided to purchase a couple of pillows and blankets and sleep the next two nights in the back of our huge white van. The drive to Niagr...

Beautiful cathedrals, cobbled streets, french cafes, horse and carriages, castle type buildings and lots of history. Here we toured the streets on foot and ate gorgeous crepes in cosy cafes. We did a tour of the Citadel, which was built back in the early 1800's as a millitary post to protect the city from invasion. Today...

Montreal can be an extremely windy place and as you walk down the street it feels as though your feet are being blown ou...
