As we all know the weather clowns are often right when predicting what you don’t want – a rainy start to day. Our hero will venture out regardless. Couldn’t get any better photos than yesterday morning so today it’s just some exercise and of course a coffee. Note: heros are brave not smart .
In continuing good news the rain got heavier once on the street. Hey maybe those 3000 tourists will stay on board today 🤔 Ah nope
Found my coffee place using flashlight function on iPhone. Interesting factoid – not many QC buildings have awnings. File that one away. Seems the QC on the coffee side is a bit lacking as today’s Cortado from new fave was rather creamy. Exhibit A
Then it was time for some Sufferin on Dufferin (patent pending) . In further good news had the place to myself somewhat surprisingly. Thought Canucks were tough. Then I remembered 90% of people have seen this trip have been Japanese tourists I shit you not . Thought I may have glanced a forlorn Kevvie Walters ambling along but kept my distance much like that between the Broncos backline and an effective tackle.😏
I must say these Gazebos definitely give me some Dead Zone vibes .
With no let up in rain likely in my lifetime we headed out for what ended up being a great morning. First up a short walk to Parliament House and see if any MCGAL (Make Canada Great At Last ) clowns around . Would be a great setting in fine weather 😏
Then we swam back down to Sufferin Terrace to catch the Funiculi Funicular down to cruise town. If nothing else it was fun to see all the tour groups under umbrellas- how do they know the leader 🤔 . Anyhoo on to the Museum Da Civilised for some kulcha. Put that cod ordinary Museum of Archeology in the shade
And in a stroke of luck there was also a Rasslin display on. Not a big fan but could certainly appreciate some of the technology employed. It almost made rasslin look real 🤓
Must be drinking time and as luck or damn good planning had it the oldest pub in Canuckistan was just down the street/river – L’Oncle Antoine. It was quaint and a few cruisers nipped in before us but we just sat at the bar because ….you know…it’s a bar. Seemed like Irish Whiskey weather but Ryan behind the bar seemed less than keen but pushed and made perfectly fine drink. It appears like 90 % of service people so far in Canuckistan , Ryan simply does not engage with people let alone smile . Being a people person I notice these things.
Then the fun started . Laughing Boy was cooking some bread and could already tell some one burnt the toast. Then the loudest smoke alarm possible went off . And they could not stop it for 30 mins. Cruisers left. LB said sorry, drinks are free now . Sweet , can we get another and stay the full 30 mins ? Blank look, tell ya sick of wasting the good stuff on these clowns.
Weather was not improving so thought catch a quick Uber up to The Wilderness and see some wild animals without pesky tourists around. It was great and all animals stood still for their photo 👍🏻
Must be time now to head back for Poutine Routine Quebec style. Found a comfy restaurant that served traditional Poutine so settled in. Perfectly fine but way too much to eat
Rain still coming down so time to head home. Being smart folk already had wine and cheese in for night if needed . Maybe time to watch some golf from Montreal .
That would be a no as the Presidents Cup held in CANADA is not on “free to air”in CAMADA. We had our afternoon cuppa and then headed out for a walk in very light drizzle so picked up a light dinner and back in for the day methinks . Bit of planning for tomorrow maybe because if dawns weather ok we may head up to nearby Montmorency Falls.
Now where is that wine 🤔
