    We spent the morning in Montreal, walking Mount Royal (giving the city it's name) and visiting Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. The first was really fun, with quite a lot of hiking trails right in the city center. The second one left us with a bit weird feeling, besides having the real heart of a saint in display, they were asking for donations in every corner. It didn't feel like a church should feel. Afterwards I got a sandwich at Schwartz's Deli (a must visit apparently) and then we went back on the road to Ottawa, Canada's capital.
    We didn't have any expectations from Ottawa, being a capital area similar to Canberra or Washington DC and usually dominated by memorials. But we were surprised by a lively and beautiful city with lots of large areas of green and a big walking and biking crowd. And the public buildings looked straight out of a Harry Potter movie. Overall a fun and pretty walking trip!
    Afterwards we drove further West, close to the next park on our list, Algonquin. It took us longer than expected and we just arrived at 9, there we got a private room at a hostel and a superb pizza and beer 🥰
