A Day in Montreal

We decided that the best way of helping to get rid of jetlag is to get some fresh air and gentle exercise, whilst doing some interesting sightseeing. So this morning we walked to the old part of Montreal and spent some time in the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral (see the extra). After some lunch we had a walk along the waterfront.

In the evening we went to the Jardins de Lumiere and spent a happy 2 hours observing the lights (and taking lots of photos - choosing a blip was difficult!). The main blip is of a light show in the Chinese garden - the accompanying music and the projection of images onto a massive water spray reminded us of a bigger but similar but much bigger spectacle we saw in China 5 years ago. Today's depicted the legend of the Butterfly Lovers.

Altogether a super start to our trip.
