Solo traveling to Canda day 6

On my 6th day in Canada, I decided to go on an adventure!!! First I had to get to the train station and that involved a 10/15mn walk from my hotel and I saw a new bit of the town I hadn't seen before!!

Cool buildings!! 

Made it to the train station!

Guess where.....

Ottawa!!!!!

Made it to Ottawa! First thing I did was get the metro to the town center which was only less than 10mn away so that was fun! 

I loved the architecture there, it was all very pretty and different from Montreal!

First thing I did when I got to the town center is visit the marché Byward. It's mainly restaurants, cafés and touristy shops mainly selling lots of souvenirs. I bought some different things I hadn't seen in Montreal so I liked that. I had a hypo so I had a drink at one of the cafés and it was very nice. I saw online that there was a Shane Hollander (character in Heated Rivalry who's originally from Ottawa) but after walking around for a while and asking the information people, I was informed that they took it down. I was very sad lol.

After walking around for a while, I decided to have lunch. I ended up finding a french boulangerie / café so I went there. I had a chicken and pesto panini which was very nice and a chocolate eclair which tasted exactly the same as they did in France so I was very impressed !!!!

After lunch, I'd planned to go to the musée des beaux arts which I saw online was huge.

Here's some of my favourite paintings I saw at the museum!

I love van Gogh he's one of my favourite painters so I was very very happy and excited to see one of his paintings. I also saw some Monet paintings and he's also one of my favourite painters so I was also very happy and excited to see that.

After a couple of hours at the museum, I went for a walk and I walked to the parliament. I was shocked at how big and impressive it looked. It was very pretty and cool to see.

It was sooo hot so I decided to go in a tourist shop and look for a cool hat to wear because I felt like I was going to end up with a sun stroke which wouldn't have been good. I saw these loons when I went in the shop and found them very funny !!!!

Here's the hat I bought, I love it!

I felt very safe in Ottawa and I only spent a few hours there but I had a lot of fun!!!!

It was then time to go back to Montreal!

Trains in Canada are soooo much better than the trains in France!

Back in Montreal!

The sky and the moon were very pretty when I was walking back to my hotel!!

Solo travelling to Canada day 5

On my firth day in Montreal, I decided to head to the biggest park in the city which is the Parc du Mont-Royal. 

I saw online that it was like 700 steps to climb to get to the viewpoint and then walk around the park and I didn't fancy that at all so to avoid that I got a lyft to the highest point of the park (to the car park basically) and then walked all the way around the park and then down to the town.

Within 2 minutes of being in the park, I saw a black squirrel which was pretty cool!

I've never been to New-York, but this is apparently the equivalent in Montreal. It's HUGE and it's in the middle of the town. You'd never guess you're in the middle of town by seeing all these trees!

Seeing the town from all the way up here was really impressive !! 

I had planned to go to the Musée des Beaux Arts after the park. I ended up walking through the McGill campus which is quite cool!

From there I decided to head to the musée des beaux arts.

I then walked through le village which is the LGBTQ+ neighbouhood but I didn't stay long as I was planning on going back to the old port

Saw some more cool buildings.

This is the clock tower (tour de l'horloge) and it was designed by the same people who designed big ben!

The aiport is less than 20km away from the town center so you can always see airplane.

There's a little stall at the Jacques Cartier pier that sells loads of maple syrup products so I bought loads of different products to bring home. 

Canada day was approaching so they changed the flag on the big wheel.

Was craving a poutine, so I had another poutine from the food truck at the Jacques Cartier bridge I always went to.

Walked back to the hotel and was craving a sweet treat. My Canadian friend told me I absolutely had to try a Beaver Tail while I was in Canada, so I had one. I had one that was covered in milk chocolate, white chocolate and maple syrup. It was so delicious, it was very sweet but it was really nice.
