Quiet Christmas

After racking up the miles in the December, it was really nice to have a quiet week at home together. We spent the week in cafes, lazing on our sofa bed, which we opened up in the lounge, going to the cinema and browsing in book stores. It was just the two of us on Christmas Day, but we phoned our family and friends, opened a few presents, had a really big meal and then got over competitive playing a travel game we got as a present.

We did have a day trip to Montreal, where we went to the Olympic Stadium and the Bio-dome, an indoor zoo with four different habitats. The bio-dome was a little bit small, but we did see some interesting animals and we saw a beaver do a poo. We also did the tour of the stadium. Wouldn’t recommend this as it only consists of the swimming pool hall (open to the public anyway) and the athletics stadium that is now thousands of plastic seats around a concrete floor.
