Surprising Ottawa

Ottawa, Canada


I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much of Ottawa. As the capital city, I envisioned something like Toronto but bigger and greyer. Turns out we were all wrong: Ottawa has a much smaller population than Toronto and the city centre is beautiful. We arrived to the sound of live music, and everywhere we went, there was some kind of performance or cultural activity going on. While some of the group went shopping after our visit to parliament, Charlie, Ross and I wandered down to the canal and watched boats moving through the locks towards the main lake. We wandered through the cultural quarter of the city and discovered a quiet and very French courtyard where we relaxed for a while.
