I woke before seven, and went out onto the balcony to watch the sun rise. Yes, it's stopped raining at last!
Quebec is a beautiful place. We spent the morning walking round the cobbled streets of the old town, with me wishing that I had some girlfriends with me to enjoy the delightful craft shops. Dave did his best, but he's not the world's best shopper.
We had to get back to the ship at lunchtime as we were booked on a guided walking tour in the afternoon, which took us to most of the places we'd seen in the morning - but it was worth doing as we were told a lot about the history of the place. The tour ended with afternoon tea at Chateau Frontenac, a massive copper roofed old railway hotel (600 bedrooms, French chateau style) which stands on top of the cliffs dominating the town. Just what we needed of course, two cream cakes each, plus a slice of almond cake and two chocolates!
Tomorrow morning we'll be in Montreal where we have a tour of the city in the morning and then will be driven to the airport for the journey home. So this is it - see you all soon!
