A day in the old City of Quebec

Today we spent a very enjoyable but very tiring day in the old city of Quebc. Very very picturesq and full of interesting narrow winding streets  with numerous art galleries and shops, cafes and antique type shops. It is like a much larger and more beautiful Rocks area in Sydney. History everywhere.

We started at the Grand central Station, went wandering through the markets area and then along the waterfront. Lots of sightseeing and window shopping and snapping of photos. Signed up for a river cruise which went up to a waterfall - higher than Niagara falls but nowhere near as spectacular.

Had a nice outdoor lunch and continued in the upper part of the city. The city is divided by a very high escarpment - we went up the escarpment by cable car - we wimped out on the stairs or the long and winding walk up through the narrow streets.

We leave for New Brunswick tomorrow where we will be staying at Grand Falls.

Lots of photos following.

The old City is on two levels - this shot is looking down on the bottom from the top.

Travel from the one level to the other by this cable car - $2,00

We had a nice alfresco lunch on the waterfront after our cruise.
