Friday October 8 |
|
| Today is a magical day with all day free to explore and enjoy Montreal,
as you like, at your own pace. We have intentionally not scheduled
planned activities so this would be a fine day to visit towering Mount
Royal, or the chic residential area of Westmount or perhaps to linger
over lunch in a small café on Boulevard St. Laurent. Another option for
today, highly recommend is the short scenic train trip, easily done in a
day, to Ottawa and back, aboard Via Rail. Ottawa is a treat with Rideau
Hall, Parliament Hill and the National Art Gallery and for those
interested, the tour manager will offer an optional day trip to Ottawa,
leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. |

homes, and rolling hills ablaze with the colors of autumn. Stowe's Main
Street has kept its turn-of-the-century look, while being home to popular
galleries, antique shops and craft stores. Enjoy lunch on-your-own while
you stroll through the village. On the way back to Burlington, a must-stop
