We had a very pleasant walking tour of Old Québec City this morning with our guide Valentina. Normally, the tour would include a funicular ride from the lower city to the upper city, but they were doing repairs this morning, so we had to walk up the 62 meters between the two levels, but we did get to take the funicular back down afterwards!
Here are a few photos from the tour.
After the tour, we had a very nice lunch at La Buchette in the upper city, then took the funicular down (there was no line at the top; there was a one-hour line at the bottom!) to walk back to our hotel.
We spent the rest of the afternoon doing laundry at the closest laundromat I could find, a ten-minute Lyft from the hotel. It was uneventful and gave us a little downtime…and saved us about $200 (Canadian) compared to having the hotel send out the laundry for us.
Our dinner this evening was at La Galette Libanaise – basically, a little meat and a lot of salad vegetables on a pita. Inexpensive, but nothing to write home about, so we went hunting for dessert and found wonderful gelato at Tutto Gelato in the upper city. I’m eagerly waiting for my Apple Watch to congratulate me on increasing my “daily flights climbed” soon!
