After having our breakfast and checking out of the hotel, we headed to the bus station to store our luggage. Our bus to Ottawa was at around 8:00 pm, so we decided to visit Vieux-Port or Old Port before leaving.
I did not enter this Notre-Dame Basilica despite the fact that it is a beautiful building because I refused to pay $5 to see whatever is inside... Tight budget, chop, chop, chop!
Then, I walked along Old Port to see what's around. I saw these cute kids holding hands and I just had to take a picture of them. Matching hats and all!
This man on the other hand, just happened to be in the picture without me realizing it.
We then arrived at this park by the St-Lawrence River. I think it has a really nice atmosphere to have family activities such as a picnic.
At that moment, I envied these people. I miss my family back home...
I decided to have a mini picnic of my own and sat on the grass by the river. Since I was on a tight budget and could not afford any guided tours, I did the self-guided tour provided, while sitting down instead of walking around. The weather was really nice and I enjoyed myself listening to the history of Old Port.
After I was done with the history of Old Port, we headed towards the La Tour de l'Horloge or Clock Tower Quay.
I threw away my fear of heights and climbed 192 steps to get this view of Montreal. My heart almost fell out when I descended the tower to get to the ground level.
When we reached the ground, we walked towards the other side of Old Port; the buildings.
This part of Old Port is beautiful as the architectures are different from the ones I usually see. It gave a different cultural vibe and I love the brick roads especially.
Lastly, before returning to Ottawa, I could not pass the opportunity to buy a French pastry; a box of macarons, just because.
