Started the morning with breakfast at the Marriott, then walking to meet our tour, with a late check out. A beautiful morning and a 15-minute leisurely walk, we were at the historic Chateau Frontenac and met our guide, Celine, and were off on a city tour and then to Montmorency Falls. Quebec City, dating back to 1608, sits on the Saint Lawrence River in Canada’s mostly French speaking Quebec province. After our 2 1/2 hour, tour we returned to the Marriott, checked out and took a short taxi ride to the port. After a very easy check in process on the Emerald Princess, we went to our cabin, R342 on the 14th floor. Our room attendant, Ryan, was there to welcome us to our home for the next two weeks.

But quite a long distance walk to the bridge.Montmorency Falls is 272 ft tall, that is 98.4 ft taller than Niagara Falls.

This was pretty scary for me, but I’m really glad I got it on video
