During our rainy day motorhome stay in, we decided to prebook for two night at the Quebec City KOA. It appears to be one of the closest RV parks to the old city, it has some sort of a shuttle into town and as it is getting close to the weekend we thought we better secure our spot for our temporary home.
After making the booking we read the reviews, limited internet, and limited English speaking. Wow, this could be an interesting couple of days…
Some fun on the outdoor exercise equipment and then on our way at 9.30 am.
An easy two-hour drive to our next campground with our scenery filled with lots and lots of cornfields and farms. Our destination tonight, Camping KOA Quebec.
On arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly young man who spoke excellent English and was even given an additional internet code for free. Phew, I think our Brown Family will be able to work with this…
Time to set up camp, lunch and then jump into an Uber to explore Old Quebec.
Oh, no Ubers operate from this side of the river? Looks like we are back waiting for a Taxi.
After a wait the taxi arrived, English speaking and we were on our way.
I was slightly concerned he was going to fall asleep at the wheel, however, we made it to Old Quebec safely. Regardless of a Taxi or Uber, you are completely relying on their driving skills.
A lovely wander around beautiful Old Quebec City (the capital city of the Province of Quebec) albeit, crowded with tourists.
A description of the city thanks to Google: Québec City sits on the Saint Lawrence River in Canada’s mostly French-speaking Québec province. Dating to 1608, it has a fortified colonial core, Vieux-Québec, and Place Royale, with stone buildings and narrow streets. This area is the site of the towering Château Frontenac Hotel and imposing Citadelle of Québec. The Petit Champlain district’s cobblestone streets are lined with bistros and boutiques.
Into the Micro Climat(e), a 26-by-9-foot container, refrigerated to 4 to 8̊⁰C and decked out in all the trappings of the snow season to offer tourists a feel for the exotic appeal of Québec winters, with ice sculptures, a mini ice hotel, a ski lift, a Québec décor, and videos on popular seasonal activities (thanks for the description press release).
It was particularly nice when we walked a few streets away from the main area and had them almost to ourselves.
We were told by the taxi driver we could not find a wrong restaurant in Quebec, we did find a Wong Restaurant…
A lovely Italian Bistro for dinner and then an Uber back to the KOA (it operates from this side of the river out). Another slightly scary ride back.
Family movie night again in the RV, tonight’s showing, Night at the Museum 2 (we only have so many movies downloaded).
