October 12, 2013 - Ça Roule Montréal Bike Tour

9:00 am - We took the City Classic bike tour with Ça Roule Montréal. The tour lasts 4 hours and covers a distance of 14 km. We travelled from Old-Port to Latin Quarter,  La Fontaine Park, Le Plateau, Mont-Royal Park (just the entrance), Business District and finally Old-Montreal. On my next trip, I would love to hike up Mont-Royal.

Exercise and Jeff don't work out

Delicious bagels. A bit burnt but amazing nonetheless

It was too much, Benaldo downed it for me.

Review of Restaurant:
This restaurant serves unlimited mussels, just not on Saturdays. One bowl of mussels was enough for me since I practically ate one loaf of bread waiting for my food to come. Good mussels, would definitely return on the bottomless mussels nights.
