Even though we are in the French zone, there is no way for me staying at the hotel only. The hotel is quite not comfortable after all too. I am going to explore this city, I believe that I will see the beauty of this city. Montreal, here I am.
Today’s schedule: Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal -> Old Montréal
Bought three-day pass, we were heading to our attractions. The pass only cost us around $15CA for three day use, it’s quite a good deal. Then, we had no idea how to get to those places and which stop we should get off. We finally got off at the station called: Champ-de-Mars, and I pronounced it wrong…no big deal, as long as I got off at that station, right?
The interesting thing to explore the city is that you never know what to expect and what will end up.
We were lucky to find Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal without making any efforts, why? Cuz I don’t even know how to pronounce this church and I found it by following the signs and people. I have to say…following people is a good way to get to your destination.
So, here we are, at Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal. It’s quiet, sacred and solemn. Everyone soon felt so peaceful, me included. There is an admission fee, $5CA for visiting Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal, photos are allowed inside the church. There is a also church tour available, you can get to know the church more from the professional docents and don’t worry if you don’t speak French, they speak English for those visitors.
And the photos of street looks outside Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal.


Starbucks time again, even the connecting wifi site of Starbucks is in French too, of course.
I was glad that I only needed to clicked the box to get connected.
Next, it’s Old Montréal. It’s located not far from the church so you can take a stroll to there. Old Montréal is an exceptional historic city centre, you will have a unique experience here, I guarantee you. This is a must-visit attraction when you visit Montréal. It’s still preserved the European-style building district. This place alone, you can take tons of photos. Spending your afternoon here is a great option with hassle free. Get yourself to visit the souvenir stores too.
Went back to the hotel to take a rest and contact travel agent to change the flight. It’s hockey playoff final, didn’t want to miss the game and the final match. Then, we decided to come back to Vancouver earlier to watch the game with Vancouverites. So we took time to visit the one of the best universities in Canada, McGrill. At this moment, it started to rain…like cats and dogs, what the hell? Alright, it didn’t matter much as long as I got to see the university. It deserves to be called one of the best, why? cuz the people here possess very unique and excellent temperament, nothing can compare.
Still raining, bought Thai Express for dinner, we headed back to the hotel and watched the hockey game through this old fashion tv set. One more day in Montréal…
