So after Toronto we headed to Ottawa. Fair amount of driving that day. We had a mid morning break at the Big Apple. Sadly not the mega city but a roadway apple pie shop. Hmmmmmm apple pie. I wish I could say hmmmmmmm coffee bit the coffee here ain't that great. Same thing as my last trip overseas - I'm missing the local cafes. Aussies must have a much stronger taste for coffee as the coffee over here is pretty weak.
Next we arrived at Kingston. Kingston was one of the English's orgianl forts and it was built to fend off the Americans. At one point it was considered for the capital of Canada. Now it house a military academy and several jails. Pretty nice spot nice on the river. Below is the town hall.
Next stop was Ottawa - the actual capital of Canada. It was a bit of a surprise actually - far nicer than I had imagined. The very large parliament complex of buildings was to say the least impressive.
Ok I'm due for the bus so have to hurry. Below was our hotel....super swish blogonians!
Presentky I'm in Quebec and about to head out to explore the city.
Ok that's it for now - will blog some more later in the day.
