So after another early start we arrived in Quebec City which I have to say is beautiful a very picturesque place. Before exploring the city we visited the massive Montmorency Falls which is higher than Niagra at 83 meters. We started at the top and walked down the 400 plus steps which was a wise move. It's an impressive site but it is a little strange that not 200 meters after the falls is the freeway, you can see the falls each time you enter and leave the city, it's just there at the side of the road.

After the falls we headed back into Quebec City to have a look around and of course eat. There is a group of us that have got pretty friendly so we all went out together, these are Liam from Dublin and his wife Amanda from Australia, Ian from Guernsey, Steve from Southampton, Kerone from Dublin and two lovely Dutch girls called Chana and Jackie.

It is a walled City which is unusual for North America, we were told the best way to see the City was to follow the wall so that's what we did, it's not like the walled Cities we have it's like it's brand new and in perfect condition which is funny as it is one of the oldest settlements in North America. It's just not as old as the places in the UK.
