Return to Quebec City,

We have returned to Quebec City...a wonderful cruise!
Cruise ship is parked at the port in the Lower Town or Basse-Ville
(we toured this area 2 weeks ago)

This view is from lower town looking up at Haute-Ville / Upper Town

The Upper Town is completely fortified.

These pix were taken as we walked the historic part of Haute-Ville.

Basilique Cathedrale Notre-Dame started in 1647 + reconstruction was completed 1771

Then we drove out to view Montmorency....these falls are 272 ft. high.
( almost 100 ft taller than Niagara Falls)

LaBaie...remote !!

We cruised up the Saguenay River all morning....it was colorful  + picturesque  + remote.
Below are the 3 settlements that we saw along the way.

Note: When you click on the city name below each posting, you will find a map of the location or city where we visited.  And click on any pix to enlarge and/or slideshow version. Better to see the scenery!

Gaspe' Peninsula

A small port....see our ship in the background

Charlottetown, P. E. Island

Prince Edward Island was sighted, then explored in 1534. Island is British and so friendly. A slower pace, bucolic mix of woodlands, fields, rolling hills, + sandy red dunes.      At this time of year it  is really colorful !

Drove about the island....

right by the site of Anne of .......

The farm with a huge parking lot beside it, is a real tourist draw !!

Then on to Rustico a village along the seashore...
supposedly, this was the first real home on the island,  built in 1772. 

Rustico Bank ~ 1864

Their church built 1838.

We drove along their Nat'l Park coast area...

The soil on this island is reddish....and this is pix of their red bluffs in Nat'l  Park

Cormorants by the dozen

And many fox along the roadway...just waiting for a hand out

Since this is a vacation "get away" island...there are so many accommodations for rent.  Many of them similar to these charming cottages ( each one trimmed in a diff. color)

.....and similar to this lodge.

We drove back to "walka'bout" the historic area of Charlottetown.  
Really a lovely city.

~ Farewell... to this wonderful island ! ~

Halifax....again

Our "welcome" to their city.

Arrival @ their port area....we walked up to the Citadel /grassy area on top of the hill. The site has been occupied since 1749. Their port area is all public boardwalk ... allllllllll the way along the river/old town. 
                             Wonderful space for visitors+ residents.

We did a walka'bout of their city

old + new side X side

Visited their Maritime Museum along the waterfront

and.....Victorian Gardens established 1836

Lovely stroll @75 degrees. Enjoy.....

Farewell to Halifax !
