Thursday, 19 September 2013 Day 3 Montreal

We met our tour director, Gary, at breakfast and set off on a sight seeing tour of Montreal which started with a walk to look at some of the buildings around the hotel including the Bank of Montreal. We were then picked up by bus and visited many of the sights that we had driven past yesterday.

Our tour covered much of the areas we had already seen including St Joseph's Oratory. Much as we would have liked to we did not climb the hundreds to stairs to the Oratory as we would not have had time to actually look inside.We visited some of the outer areas of he city and saw a variety of architectural styles from Victorian terraces to the very modern (The Convention centre). We drove through the golden mile with its million dollar homes and then to Old Montreal.

We had a stop at Notre Dame Basilica where the impressive wedding chapel is as large as St Johns. We made our way back to the hotel through the underground shopping centre and enjoyed a welcome dinner with our fellow tour members at the hotel.
