Birthday in Quebec

We boarded the Eurodam and made our way to the stern cabin 6181 on deck 6 looking up at the castle on the hill. Mark and Katie had arranged a bottle of champagne and chocolates to be on the balcony so we started the cruise in style.

Flying to Quebec

Image
After a quiet night in the Premier Inn we were dropped off at Teminal 3 where we joined the queue at check-in and found we were behind another couple who were on our cruise. We flew by Air Canada from Heathrow at 10:50am and arrived in Montreal  at about 1:00pm local time. Then after a couple of hours transfer time we boarded a small turbo prop aircraft for the 50 min flight to Quebec. We spent the night in the Marriot Courtyard Hotel near the port and after a meal in small a French restaurant we walked down to a point where we could see the Holland America cruise terminal and the Eurodam waiting. Quebec is french speaking and everything about the town looks very French.
