Embarked on our second of two guided bike tours. This route was very different than the first. We learned about plants, architecture, history and visited a few parks. The bike trail system in this city is quite impressive not to mention, exceedingly busy.
Poulet Frite Kentucky....
The highlight was the Montmorency Falls located in the Parc de la Chutes-Montmorrency on th Montmorency River. It is the largest falls on this river. The drop is 276'. If you have the lack of fear, there is an opportunity to zip line right at the fall's crest. EEEK The price is only $25, the thrill factor, priceless....
The bike tour group had a bit of a scare with out leaving the ground. One of our most seasoned travelers had the meeting time right but the location to meet quite wrong. We all went up in the funicular, crossed the suspension bridge over the falls, and descended the stairs on the other side. For some reason, Mark went down the stairs, then decided to climb all more than 400 steps to meet us at the top. Meanwhile, everyone else smartly chose to go straight to our bikes once we came down to ground level. It was about a half hour an ice cream sandwich later before he decided to use his cell phone to find us. Whew, so glad he was okay.
Back to the hotel, cleaned up and our last climb up the hill to the area of the Frontenac. Dining, arranged by our most capable organizer, at Aux Anciens Canadiens. Fabulous fun dining, our first moments of having the entire group together, and the last. It is off to either one's next destination or beginning the trek home.
Thank you for traveling with us. Please continue to check the blog for future adventures this year (3).
Salute
Glad you were able to enjoy Anciens Canadiens. Great restaurant. Safe travels.
