AUGUST 2019 : CANADA : DAY 12 : Quebec City - Ottawa : 6 hours (train)


Returning to Ottawa



Just a 5 minute walk to the railway station. We were able to have a full breakfast for a very reasonable cost in one of the cafes there. Another queuing session in the ticketing area before being whisked down to the station and a speedy departure. No wonder the platforms are spotless!


Leaving Quebec City on the St Lawrence River. We passed through small farming communities and main highways.


We passed by Montreal with good views of the St Lawrence Seaway and of the Biosphere built by the US for their 1967 Expo Pavilion and the Montreal skyline.


We caught a public bus from the station in Ottawa to the city centre. Tonight we had a delicious seafood meal in the Byward Market district with Richard and Piers.


It feels safe walking around Ottawa but last night, close to the restaurant at the Byward Market, there was a crime scene after a shooting incident, probably drug-related.
