Tasting the nightlife of Montreal- It's partytime!

Hey,

here i'm again. It's already long time ago since my last post. There were a lot of things happening and there was not even time to breathe!

I drove by bus from Ottawa to Montreal. Fortunetly I found an amazing hostel. If you come to Montreal go to the Auberge de L' Apero! It was so cheap and so good. There was a unique atmosphere in the hostel. Everybody was very nice and so we did lot of things together. We had a lot of fun during that time. It was so a nice experince!

On my first day i suprised Steffie, Anja and Julia. A meet up with old friends. Together we explored the many small streets with the typical french flair. I bought me new shoes for the hiking season and at the evening we cooked together pasta.
At the next day we went up to the Mt. Royal. That's a mountain were you have a beautyfull view from the top on the skyline from Montreal. The weather was great! At the evening we went together with some people from my hostel in a bar. There was a very funny seaman and we coudn't stop laughing. After that we checked out the nightlife of Montreal in a great club. Together with Luiz, Tom, Alex and Monika we had a nice night. The music was good and the atmosphere was incerdible and so we danced all the night long.
Together with Alex I spent the next day in the Biodome. there you can see all vegetation zones of canada with the animals which live there. It was very interesting to see the Pinguins, a Lux, a Beaver,... Stephie and there sister flyed back to germany. After a short Goodbye I went together with Alex and Luiz in the worldfamous Circus du Soleile to spent the rainy day. It was expensive but the show was fantstic. The costumes, the music and the artists were just amazing. They show so great and they showed so many crazy things you can't imagine. It was fantasic.
At the next day we went together to the island in the St. Lorenz river. We enjoyed the beautyfull day in the sun and the breath taking view on the skyline. We went around the race course of fomula one too. There we had a lot of fun doing some funny pictures. how you can see. At the evening of that day we cooked all together a meal in the hostel. It was so a nice evening and our french chef cook made a great diner for all of us.

Montreal is a wounderfull city. Everybody speaks french but the tourists and citizen from all over the world make the city to a place with a mix of all cultures. It's a unique experience which i can just recomend. It's strange to see an old church and only modern skyscraper around. It's crazy to see the old part of the city which really looks like in europe. But that's waht makes Montreal so interesting.

Greeting from Montreal
