Ottawa Centretown

We are spending our last day in Canada we spend in downtown Ottawa which is called here Centretown. Unfortunately, the temperature dropped to 12 C, which with fairly strong wind made us shorten the walk and sit longer over beers…. We show today's capital on a Friday, during lunch hours. It looks li...

Lunch in Ottawa, Nepean neghbourhood

Of the hundreds of restaurants it is to difficult to choose one original that would surprise us with their food which we have not tried before. After discussion it was decided: let's go to lunch the Koreans who run a restaurant  offering Asian cuisine "fusion" type with a little bit of everything. ...

Niagara-on the Lake

Niagara-on-the-Lake - a town located 20 km from the Niagara Falls. The town is located in the corner formed by Lake Ontario and flowing into it the Niagara River - the border river with the United States.

Any way, it was an extraordinary experience and put us in an excellent mood. This may have been because of the water splash a...

Towards Niagara Falls

 From Ottawa we had to cover  520 km. It sounds simple, but it proved to be a challenge for both drivers. First, continuous rain and a very limited visibility, then breaking through the Toronto traffic (all the way on the  motorway) ... After 6 hours we got to our hotel. We looked about and planne...

Montreal - a lunar eclipse

This is what we unexpectedly encountered in Montreal on Sunday evening between 9 and 11pm. A lunar eclipse of blood-red supermoon  dazzled us together with the Canadians. The sun, the moon and the planet Earth haven't aligned perfectly since 1982, and won't again until 2033, making tonight's total...

Farewell to Montreal

We decided to spend our last day in the Old Montreal (or in French Vieux-Montréal). Along cobble stone narrow streets rise buildings from  XVII, XVIII, and XIX centuries in such a number that Montreal is the most saturated with historical monuments on the North American continent. Because of  a very...
