Day 10 with a long trip from Niagara Falls via Gettysburg to Harrisburg (some old sides from the civil war)
We are leaving Canada, travelling south. Once we had passed the border there was another opportunity to see the falls from a totally different angle. Even from a longer distance one can still see the falls due to the water spray above the ground.
We spent our time with a long walk along the waterfront with great views of the falls. In the local IMAX theater we watched the IMAX film „Niagara“, which gives a good views from different angles on the falls.
Prescott (historical site), St. Lawrence River
Brockville
1000 Islands Parkway
Toronto: Chinatown, Downtown
Had a very relaxing sunday in downtown Ottawa around the Parliament hill. Ottaway is great because of the near river with some waterfalls. This makes it nice to walk along the waterside and enjoy a day or two.
Leaving Québec after breakfast
Driving on a smaller street next to the highway along St. Lawrence River
Visiting Trois-Rivières, a small town where St. Lawrence and other rivers come together
Visiting Montréal
Today we made our way to Canada, passing the US border south of Québec. Apparently we were not really prepared for the situation that this is the french speaking part of the country where you can hardly order an Ice Cream in Mc Donalds when only talking english.
A nice short roundtrip by car and sunset on top of Cadillac Mountain. However, we should have spent more time here, as the park is great with such great nature and awesome places. It’s worth to spend some days here.
Today it has been quite a short trip from Cape Cod to Boston, with the following stops:
Rundreise Ostküste – Etappe von New York City nach Cape Cod über New Haven, Yale University, New Port nach Cape Cod / Hyannis
Today, we had our day of the first road trip – from New York City to Cape Cod.
Heavy traffic when we left New York City northbound but this is just natural, I guess.
I should remember that it is really tough to drive into the City during rush hour (and I guess even if this is not the case it’s stressfull (at least for me)). But nevertheless, finally we found Manhattan, our hotel and a parking lot. Would be much easier without a navigation system.
We are almost done with all travel preparations. Tomorrow we will fly from Frankfurt to New York City and start our three week holiday journey.
