Today was incredible though, we drove to Quebec City this morning and spent the afternoon there. It is an absolutely amazing place. It's impossible to see everything in depth with just one day, however everything in the old city is within walking distance so a foot tour allows you to see a lot in one day. Just walking around with your tacky tourist sights map is awesome. The shops, cafes, and restaurants are endless, they occupy everyone of the old buildings (except Churches and Museums) that make up the old city. The old city Quebec is completely surrounded by a rock wall which was built hundreds of years ago as a fortress. There is so much history in the area and so much of the old buildings and monuments still exist. Nicola had a great time exploring the city with perfect weather and even did a little shopping. At the end of our visit we went to a traditional French Crepe Cafe for strawberry and ice cream Crepes which were delicious. This city was easily one of the highlights of the trip so far.
**Update - We've hit a new low in our overnight accommodations last night. We made it to Fredericton at quarter to 3 in the morning after taking a half hour detour to the middle of nowhere to a closed campground, luckily Nicola was asleep for that part. We pulled into a Canadian Tire parking lot and slept in the front seats of the car, hoping to get an oil change first thing in the morning as all other service centers are closed on Saturdays here. Despite our valiant efforts to be first in line we are still unable to get an oil change until 1pm, so we will move on to Moncton.

Champlain Street, full of little cafes and shops, like the entire old city
The entire place has so much character and the old buildings are in such good condition
