Montreal to Quebec. Thursday 5th September.

Today we left Montreal and drove to Quebec City where we are staying 2 nights in a hotel in the old part of the city. We drove most of the way on the eastern shore of the St Lawrence seaway on route 132 which is alongside the seaway. This is not the main highway but a secondary road. The speed limit was about 90kph so the 400 km took us till about 3.30pm to cover.

The road travels through many villages, some quite pretty. It's a tourist route called the Route of the Navigators - a reference to the early seafarers along the St Lawrence.

We stopped for lunch at a bakery in one of the villages.
The hotel we are in is the Champlain and has no view but is quite central to the old city.
