First trip in Canada

I would like to tell you about the memorable weeks to trip in Canada in a winter vacation! It was the first time to trip around Canada. Also, it was the first time to travel only with my friend. I made a lot of memories.

From December 25th to January 1st, Yuko, who is my friend ( used to be in IEP), and I traveled to Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City. Our plan was, firstly we took a flight to Toronto, secondly took a bus to Montreal, thirdly took a bus to Quebec City, then took a VIA train to Toronto, finally flew to Winnipeg. We knew this was hard schedule though, the most important thing for us was "enjoy with low cost!"

The first activity was shopping to Eaton Centre in Toronto. On December 26th, it was Boxing Day. Almost all shops discounted the price. Many people were on line, the shops were crowded and we gave up to buy at that day.
Next day, we went to Niagara Falls, which is located 2hours far from downtown by bus. Unfortunately, it was a little rain, however the falls were amazing. After we were enjoyed to see it, we tasted ice wine. This is famous around Niagara Falls. It is much sweeter than normal wine. I did not like wine before, but I love the wine!
In Montreal, we went singhtseeing around the old city. They were beautiful. We also celebrate the New Years Day there. However we could not understand French, we really enjoyed. I felt I came to an European country because of the building, atmosphere were so much different from Winnipeg or Toronto. I also enjoyed shopping. I bought boots, a bag, accessories, clothing and sky jacket to have got ready to Quebec City.
The last place was Quebec City. It was the best place of all place that we went in this vacation. We enjoyed sightseeing, shopping, and skiing there. People were kind, activities were really nice, and the city was beautiful. We rally enjoyed this city, so I would like to write about the city next time!

  1. What a wonderful trip! I have been to Montreal and Toronto before and I loved both cities for different reasons. I would like to go to Quebec City in the future. Do you have a favourite place in Quebec City that you could recommend?

    1. My favorite place was French restaurant that is called 'Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens.' Everyday, until 17:45, we can have a French course about 23 dollars.
      We can have a glass of wine or beer, a cup of soup, main dish, a dessert, and a cup of coffee or tea.
      This restaurant has a long history, my tour guide recommended. Enjoy your trip!
