Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

Well Earned Rest

We had a much deserved few days away. We spent the weekend with Sarah’s parents at Tremblant. We had a relaxing time and I played golf. On Saturday we walked around the village and were in and out of the shops. Roger and I had a go on the luge. Not as fast paced as the Montreal Grand Prix we had seen together last year but still fun. The weather was much better on Sunday so we were able to get the cable car up to the top of the mountain and appreciate the views from the top. The only downside was we were all bitten to buggery by black flies and were really itchy!

After lunch we jumped into the rented SUV and drove to Quebec City. Our B&B, Auberge de la Quartier, was lovely. We had the two bedroom suite upstairs which had just been decorated. We had an enjoyable two days roaming around the city seeing the historic district, Citadel, Notre Dame Cathedral. We were able to get good views of the Chateau Frontenac at sunset from the ferry to Levis. We enjoyed Quebec City so much that I celebrated by rolling down a grass hill in a city park.
