From walking around here you start getting the feeling your getting closer to Quebec and it feels and looks more like france than canada and a french way of life.The buildings here are very impressive and we spend the day wandering around them and visited the Royal Canadian Mint,which was ok for $5 but the tour guide was abit boring and irritating with her stories about how she had these fairly rare coins as a child but would spend them on bubblegum.WHO CARES!!
Considering this is the capital of canada either it is strangely small with not much around or maybe we just missed a huge chunk of it out.
But i did find the timberland boots ive been looking for and got a right bargain.Since the trip started ive been searching in the timberland shops and each time ive said no they can wait.In toronto they were c$130/£60 and thats cheap considering in the uk they would be double that.In ottawa though i managed to get them for $60/£27.
