Our day's adventure started out with the drive into the city. After all, we looked at the map, had GPS, what more could we want. Perhaps a *#&*@)@* GPS that worked in the city might have helped. After a mini city tour we found Rue Peel. Found a nice parking lot for $10, walked up the hill about 4-5 blocks past several parking garages much cheaper! Your erstwhile city guide Charlie & Myrtle (GPS) at your service.
We signed up for the 3 hour motor coach tour of the city. We enjoyed a very relaxng tour with an informative and talkative driver/guide. We lost one couple at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. A beautiful cathedral that is a definite must see in Montreal. We covered most of the city with stops near the Olympic Stadium (former home of the Nats) and on Mont Real. After a monster lunch at an Irish Pub we headed home by the scenic route, Rt 112. This takes you across the Queen Victoria Bridge, a railroad bridge with car lanes added as an afterthought. Great view of the river and ship canal, but definitely only for cars!
Back at the campground we had a lazy chat outside with just enough breeze to keep the critters at bay. Dinner was served very late as no one was hungry after such a big lunch.
