After my tour of the North-East my feet were killing me due to tremendous amounts of walking and unsupportive footwear so it was nice to get back to New York and feel like I didn't have to walk around and look at stuff constantly. Perhaps I got a bit too relaxed as I somehow managed to punch in the wrong pincode for my creditcard three times and hence got it blocked. As you can imagine this lead to all sorts of complications and after calling my bank they confirmed they could only send me a new card in two weeks time. Luckily I had some cash and could get some more off my grandfather which will hopefully get me through the wait.
Due to limited choice in public transport, I decided to skip my planned visit to Boston and instead opted to use the far cheaper train direct from New York to Montreal. The 12 hour trainride was very scenic travelling through the fiery autumnal landscapes of Northern America.
Montreal is a really nice city offering a wide variety of different vibes, from the European historic feel of Old Town to the urban highrises and the peaceful parklands of Mont Royal. Another interesting aspect of the city is that you can pretty much walk underneath the entire place using an intricate system of underground tunnels. After enjoying three nights and two days in the frenchspeaking part of Canada I am now on a bus which will take me southward to Toronto.
