[Whistler][Vol.07] Trip to eastern Canada _ Day 2

Next morning I jumped on Moose package tour. This package, Big East, travel around Ontario and Quebec province. It’s good tour for independent traveler and almost members were alone.

While we were heading to Montreal, our first stop was the Big apple (not New York City – that’s another tour.) This one is a restaurant in the middle of orchard country, built in the same goofy tradition as many tourist operations in Australia. During the past 10 years, over 2 million apple pies have been baked here for customers. It was really tasty and has many pieces of apples on that.

Next down the road were the Thousand Islands – a resort area full of restaurant, dive shops, boats and cottages. We boarded a tour ship to explore the waterways and islands. It was cloudy and a little bit rainy day. It would be more beautiful if it was sunny. The most interesting and beautiful island was the Heart island with sad love story.

After checking into Hi-Hostel in Montreal, we were off to a bar and drank Quebec beers. Then we watched a Hockey game, Montreal vs. Boston. It was lucky for us because there is game that night and Hotel had a couple of tickets when we arrived at hostel. It’s my first time to watch Hockey game and I don’t even know the rules of Hockey.

There was almost full and loud with cheering but not that crazy. We were really enjoyed and bought a T-shirt of Montreal Canadiens. And happily, our team, Montreal (our? Since when? Ha-ha~ -_-;;) won that night. And also funny thing was that the player on my T-shirt made a goal when I was lineup for pay for it. So I didn’t see goal. ;( I could feel that night how much Canadian loves Hockey and why.
