Quebec City

 Our mode of transport.
The old part of Quebec City, by the river and below the citadel.
Quebec is the only walled city in North America.

It has an old European feel to it.



There was a festival of buskers on at the time.

The Frontenac Hotel on top of the hill.


July, 2006
Terri and I went on a motorcycle trip to Quebec on my 1977 Kawasaki KZ650, that I inherited from my dad. We rode for about 700 kilometres in about 7 hours, stopping only for gas, toilets and food, from Toronto to the city of Trois Rivieres in Quebec, where we stayed for the night. We found a nice little hotel and wandered around the downtown area of the city and along the St. Lawrence River.

In the morning we continued on to the city of Quebec. Again we found a little hotel and spent the next couple of days exploring the city. It is a beautiful city, with a European flavour. It is the only walled city in North America. There was a busker festival going on that week and we spent the evenings watching various acts performing around the old city.

After a couple of days, we rode further east, continued on the next post.
