Day 1
So after staying 2 days and1 in Halifax night we arrived in Montreal at around 6:45 A.M and started looking for a hotel to unload our stuff and leave to explore Montreal.
After a good night sleep we woke at around 9:30 and got ready to enjoy Montreal and our fist destination was old Montreal and i wasn't really holding my breath to see it but know that i have seen it i have to admit it was really cool.We took a tour around it started by a movie to explain the history and how it started, the movie said it started when Samuel de Champlain set up a fur trading post at Place Royale... i sort of zoned after that part but it was a very interesting movie and an even better place it was like living in the 80s but there were cars and it was just amazing. After the tour we walked around the city by ourselves and i saw something holy from a distance i saw the burger king sign it was the most beautiful thing i have ever see but my victory was short because as soon as i mentioned it everybody looked at me and said we arnt going again and we winded up eating at some place called Alexandre et fils witch is some french restaurant witch wasn't that bad (not as good a a whopper) and after we ate we ate at we went back to the hotel to pack up and hit the road.
