Today we got to stretch our legs and enjoy a day of relaxation (a.k.a. no cycling) in Quebec City! We arrived here last night, into an old building turned mod. Once again, me and mama bear are sharing a bed. Today we woke up and went for a small ride of the city and added another 10 miles onto our missed mileage. We got in from that, freshened up, and went for breakfast at a creperie and we both enjoyed a ham, cheese and mushroom crepe. Deee-lish.
We continued to walk around the city, looking at the parliament buildings and admiring the randomly assorted sculptures throughout Old Quebec. We window shopped at small boutiques and bought Maple Fudge from a store called "Fudge". We were supposed to save it for desert, but we couldnt help ourselves, so we ate it all there.
We had a nice dinner, followed by a carriage ride on one of the many work horses. It was such a nice experience, just sitting back and savouring the feeling of the rocking motion and the sound of hooves on pavement. After we did that, we went to another creperie and ate a dessert crepe with coffee, then went to the square and enjoyed a street performer "One Man Band" play all his many instraments to old classics. All in all, a very nice evening.
Tip of the Day: Splurge on a carriage ride.
