Thankfully QC is a lot smaller than Montreal so the driving was a little better except for the weather.
The radio said temperatures would be about 36 (confirmed by my car temperature gauge) but with the humidity would feel like 45!!!
So we checked into our hotel and sat in our air conditioned room while deciding whether to venture out. Finally we struck up the courage to leave the safety of our AC and took the bus into town where we walked along the old town watching the yachts navigate the locks as then entered and exited the St Lawrence seaway.
We walked around an area called Petit Champlain and found a nice bar with outside seating where we could enjoy a snack (ham and cheese sandwich = Croque Monsieur) and a beer while watching the myriad of tourists humming around the shops and lanes.
This was only supposed to be a recce trip so we'll be going back tomorrow and visiting more of the town.
I've included some photos below from today but it was hazy so the sky looks grey and uninspiring still you get the idea.
We were pretty interested in visiting the bar that allows you to place your chair in the fountain/pool as a way of cooling off 👍
35 degrees....perfect walking weather!
Civilized!
