Day 7.216: Parc de la Chute-Montmorency

The first day of our short vacation started with a five and a half hour drive. Even with a stop for lunch, we managed to arrive at our destination around 2pm and were able to check into our hotel a bit early.

After a few minutes to get various devices attached to the wifi and collect ourselves, we decided to head out to Montmorency Falls.

A fantastic visit, but I'm glad we didn't have to drive home again afterwards.
