VIA to Quebec: Cindy, Cynthia, James and I took the VIA train to first Montreal to transfer to another train to Quebec City, Quebec. On the train, I was busy writing my blog, and updating my status on Facebook. Chef Oliver Bartsch was leaving us comments and suggesting us that La Citadelle de Québec, and Grande Allée were a must to visit. (Thanks Chef for your advice! And yes we did visit these places!) We dragged our luggages from the train station to the hotel. After checking in, we visited Vieux Québec (Old Quebec) and had dinner in Restaurant Le Retro http://monttremblant.tonresto.ca/restaurant-quebec/st-jean-baptiste/5335-restaurant-le-retro.html Then, we took the ferry to see the night view of Old Quebec.

Quebec: Today, we joined a tour in La Citadelle de Québec http://www.lacitadelle.qc.ca We didn't get a chance to go into the resident and the kitchen of Gouverneur Général where Chef Oliver used to work, so I just took a picture of the outside. It must be nice to work there and see this beautiful view! After the tour, we had lunch at Café-boulangerie Paillard http://www.paillard.ca/home and walked around Vieux-Québec, and finally walked back to the hotel. We had dinner in Restaurant Sai-gon Bangkok http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g155033-d708642-Reviews-Saigon_Bangkok-Quebec_City_Quebec.html and walked around the hotel area.

Toronto: After having breakfast with Kevin, we went to Allan Garden Conservatory where I had never been before, only drove by with streetcar all the time. Thanks Kevin for bringing me there! :-)
Cynthia was sick, after checking out Allan Garden Conservatory, I went to Mandy's to check on her. She was still resting, so I was just browsing online while waiting for her.

VIA to Ottawa: Today, I walked a lot! Thanks to Kevin! We walked up to Bloor, down to College, then down to Queen, but I felt great though! :-) I met Cindy at Bathurst subway station, then dropped off her luggage at Mandy's. Cynthia needed to get a new luggage, so we went to get one in Eaton Centre, then had food in Korean town. Mandy came and picked us up, then went back to her place for luggage. She dropped us off at Union station. Our trip was officially over!
