The Nation’s Capital!!! Day 11….

Ottawa city…..it was only about 6 1/2 hrs from Niagara so it was a nice easy ride…although running into traffic around Toronto wasn’t that much fun…got here in the early afternoon so I had lots of time to walk around the city. What’s Ottawa most famous for? The Parliament buildings of course!! Fortunately the hotel I was staying at was just a block away…so checked in, changed out of my riding gear and away I go….

Here’s the shot on every Ottawa postcard……

Here’s the pic that SHOULD be on every Ottawa postcard……hahahaha

 

 

Rideau Canal close to the Parliament Buildings….it’s only used by pleasure craft and boat tours these days…

If you like Canadian money….this is where it comes from, the coins anyhow….Royal Canadian Mint

I only planned one night here, so most of it was spent exploring the city core, then a good nights sleep and off to Quebec…. la belle province !!!! I wish I had better bruch up on my french….
