the Honeymoon
Baron and Naomi's honeymoon in Quebec
Ready to Leave
The morning after their wedding night, Baron and Naomi got ready to leave on their honeymoon in modern times...

|
Arriving
It was a lovely, sunny, autumn day when Baron and Naomi arrived in Quebec City. Baron had booked them a suite at the prestigious Fairmont la Chateau Frontenac
They made their way through the Lower Town...
|
|
...and took the Funicular up to the Dufferin Terrace.
The view was spectacular.
But the real attraction was the magnificent hotel...
It rose like a castle, high on the cliff...
|
|
...overlooking the Historic Lower Town, and the St. Lawrence River...
"I've always loved Old Quebec, and can't believe you actually got us a room at that gorgeous hotel."
le Chateau Frontenac
"I think we should go and register, and get rid of our luggage."
"Good idea."
|
|
|
|
They registered and went up to their suite...
"Look at this view!"
"It's like being in the middle of a Fairytale castle."
Baron couldn't help but smile, "That's amusing, considering we actually live in a real castle already, your Ladyship."
"What do you say we go explore the Old City for a little while?"
|
|
But she took his hand, and sat down on the bed...
"I can think of something else I'd rather do right now..."
Exploring
A few hours later, they ventured out to explore the Old City....
|
|
|
|
"This place is so beautiful, but I'm getting a little tired. Let's head back to the hotel."
Champagne
After a quiet dinner, they had a lovely, intimate evening in their hotel room...

|

|
Exploring the City
The next day they went exploring the city within the Old Walls...
|
|
|
|
They eventually made their way down to the Lower Town....
|
|
|
|
Out and About
The next morning they got up early. "So, what's the plan for today?"
"We are going to go explore the surrounding countryside."
And they headed east, and took the bridge over to Isle d'Orleans, which is situated in the middle of the St. Lawrence River.
It's a picturesque drive through rolling farmland...
...passing centuries old barns...
It was a bright, sunny autumn day...
...as they made their way around the island...
At the westernmost tip of the island, they stopped to take in the view of the city in the distance.
...just as a large ship sailed by.
Later that afternoon, back on the mainland, they explored the south shore of the river in Levis, across the river from Quebec...
There were three huge cruise ships, including the Queen Mary 2, docked at the base of the Old City...
...almost dwarfing the impressive Chateau Frontenac rising high on the cliff overhead...
"No wonder it's so crowded over there."
