Parliament buildings (middle of three) day time
And at night
We did a hop on and off bus tour and found the Civilisation Museum, the left and right edges of the building represent the two Canadian mountain ranges the Appalachians and Rockies with the prairie land between represented by the grass. In the background you can see the back of the parliament buildings and the parliamentary library the round building
We got off the bus at the Aviation Museum which we enjoyed. This is in the foyer and is a plane originally used by the air force for initial pilot training but now only used by the acrobatic pilots (like the Roulettes at home)
We enjoyed our time in the cockpit of the same sort of plane
Notre Dame Cathedral (Ottawa version)
The Prime Minister’s Residence
A street view heading for the Market area
Convention Centre
The Hotel Fairmont Chateau Laurier with a War Memorial in the foreground
Locks on the Rideau Canal beside the Chateau Laurier – which is emptied out to 2 feet deep in the winter and locals can skate for 8kms!
Another Government building mirrored in its neighbour across the street
Bits and Bobs:
Having been born a ‘Bell’ Norm thought it appropriate that I include that I have my very own call / telephone box (many) in Canada!
The Cruising, the coffee, the company, what can I say…I’m lovin it!
