この日も同じく7時半に起こされ8時半のバスで出発
最初の目的地はなんとすべてが氷で出来たIceHotel
エントランスをくぐってまず感じた事。。
さびーぃ！
すべてが氷で出来てるせいかただでさい寒いケベックなのに更に寒く感じます。
たぶん中はマイナス20度くらい。
でもここ実際に予約宿泊可能って事で部屋はちゃんとあるし部屋数めっちゃ多い。
一応SuiteRoomもあるんですが豪華・・・・ではないｗ
ベッドも氷だから横になると寒いし硬い。。
一体誰が泊まるんでしょうか・・・
一行はその後ケベックの一番観光名所でもある場所へ
そこで自分は友達と町を歩き回ることにしたんですがいや～町並みが違います
もうカナダ？って感じるくらいそこはヨーロッパの雰囲気をかもしだしてます。
なんか小さいお店が点在してて渋谷のスペイン坂かはもしくは原宿CatStreet？
とはいかなくともかなり面白い場所でした。
しかし何故か昼を食べたのはアイルランドパブｗ
でもその代わりに夜はちゃんとしたフレンチのお店堪能させていただきました
フレンチ経験がゼロに近い自分はドイツ人の友達まいけるに注文を助けてもらいつつ
この日を楽しみました。
明日はバリーへ帰ります
3rd day...
We were woken up by the morning call same one we had for the second day.
The bus left the hotel same time as yesterday.
Our first destination for the 3rd day was interesting, everyone signed up for thisone despite the entree fee of $16, its the ice hotel.
Our first impression,,, freezing, inside the building which 99% made of ice( the rest is some lighting). I don't know why but it is freezing inside.
There are a number of rooms from ordinary to suite, I thought there were more than 20 rooms which you can actually book and stay, but I would say who would want to? minimum $300 per night plus there isn''t heating. I saw sauna just outside and there are bathrooms which are not made of ice(if those were made of ice I would urinate and see if I can actually melt them)
anyway, the place was very interesting, there was also a chapel and a small bar which you can buy drinks.
After visiting the ice hotel, we headed to Quebec city, its like most touristy area, however, its also a historical area where British and French fought according to our guide.
Michael and I decided to walk around as soon as got off the bus. on the way, I picked up some maple paste which my friend asked me. the city scape interestingly enough to make you feel no longer in Canada.
more interestingly, we had lunch at an Irish place though. after the lunch, we kept wondering the area, nice galleries, many restaurants. We had nice french for dinner, my friend helped me with order, I had never really had french before.
It was nice throughout the day. my impression is people here is more tolerated with tourists so you are less worried about not speaking french whereas Montreal,,,, people there are not as tolerated as them in the area where I was today.
