What a great day :)

Another cold night but was toasty (except for my nose) in my sleeping bag, jammies, jumper, socks, gloves, quilt and blanket...oh! and Lee the limpet snuggling up. We drove to  Quebec Harbour and went across to the city on the car ferry. Quebec is the most amazing place - you would swear you stepped back a century in time and moved to Europe. Lots of cobbled streets and old fashioned shops and just a wonderful atmosphere. What started as a cold morning turned into a sunny crisp day. Just like being transposed to France. Any trip to Canada MUST include a visit to Quebec city.
 Had a brilliant lunch at Bistro Sous le Fort - soup was wonderful
Absolutely to die for French Onion Soup with Swiss Cheese

After we spent a few hours checking everything out we took off. Our next main destination is Newfoundland via Nova Scotia but today we have made it to St Simeon where tomorrow we will catch another car ferry to Riviere-du-Loupe where we can continue our journey.
We looked at a couple of spooky looking caravan parks before we ended up in this great motel that is actually overlooking the St Lawrence Seaway.It is great.
A bit dark but this is the view from our balcony - where we catch the ferry
