Ottawa to Montreal

Another long day on the bus today and unfortunately mother nature was not too kind as you will see. The trees still have some colour but the day was so foggy, wet and dark that the photos are miserable - but we still had fun. On the way to Montreal we travelled along the St Lawrence River and great lakes of Ontario viewing the famous 1,000 Islands. There are actually 1,864 islands and you can also read more about them here. Sadly the photos could have been better but from the bus I did get a few brief views....











And this is what it should look like below on a nice day (photo taken from here.......)

Our lunch stop was at The Big Apple Cramahe for some amazing treats.......




 Mumble, crumble pie....and they have baked nearly 1.3 million of them!

 Because they are the "Big Apple" they had a selection of photos of other big icons from around the world and there were two from home.........

 only I think their geography is a little out!

The dreary weather continued but then Montreal was on the horizon.......


 My favourite gift cards........









Tomorrow will bring us some historical Montreal sights but for now I just have to leave you with the latest heart-throb photo from home......

  2. More great photos, but, have to say the last one is my favourite. What a little treasure.
