Quebec City I

Our flight was delayed by an hour due to an early season snowstorm in Calgary. This actually turned out to be in our favour as the flight attendant came to our seat before landing in Toronto to notify us that we had missed our connecting flight but were now rebooked on a non-stop flight to Quebec. So we avoided a stop in Ottawa, our original flight plan. Another hour delay due to a door that wouldn’t close properly meant we didn’t arrive until 7 pm. Quebec Airport has a $35 fixed rate to downtown Quebec where we were able to check into the two-room suite we were sharing with Janet & Ed. Four cruise ships were in port so hotel rooms were scarce and priced accordingly. Surprisingly many restaurants closed at 9 so our choices were limited. We ended up having an average, overly priced pizza at an Irish themed blues bar. The music was good but certainly not the Québécois experience we were hoping for. Janet & Ed didn’t arrive until 1 a.m. and were exhausted. It was a night of duelling CPAPs!Read more
