Montreal

Hi everyone, Sarah here! Sorry it's been so long since our last post.

Last weekend we finally went up north to Montreal for the weekend. It's an awesome place but the weather wasn't quite so rad. We arrived to a miserable wet cold Saturday.

So the first day we didn't get up to much. Sunday it cleared up a little so we were able to go out and see the sights.

It is a very French city - their metro looks the same as the one in Paris!

We walked through the Old Port which was really pretty.

We stumbled across this xmas shop - it mustn't make much money this time of year but it was pretty all the same!

Then we went to the Notre Dame Basilica which was really impressive.

and it was even better on the inside! It was probably one of the top 3 churches we've ever seen I reckon. Way more impressive that we thought we'd find in a North American city that's for sure!

They had just finished there service when we got there.

The light was pretty bad so we struggled to get some good shots of it.

The stained glass windows were really beautiful.

This is the view standing outside the church - we tried to get the Quebec flag but it didn't really come out.

There is heaps of amazing graffiti in Montreal - I would even go as far to say that it's better than anywhere else we've been eg LA, NY, San Fran etc. Kim was loving it and we got lots and lots of photos (not shown here obviously)!

Then we enjoyed some of the local brews at a big pub in the St Laurent area.

This is our couchsurfer that we stayed with. For those of you who don't know what couchsurfing is, it's a website where you request to stay with people in any city in the world! It is completely safe and a great way to meet other travellers. Her name is Caitlyn and she was a great host!

I was still in my PJ's hence why I'm not in the photo!!!!

We loved Montreal and would've definitley gone there instead of Toronto if we spoke French fluently!
