Tour of Ottawa : Essential Sights

Arrival

Waiting for buses really brings out the creative side in us


After we lunched at the Markets (where Ryan had a "Beaver Tail") we went to Parliament - there was a demonstration by the Tamil people which we watched (some have been on hunger strike for 6 days)


Watched the demo


Everyone's favourite Canadian bursting with pride in front of his Parliament.

The Crew in Parliament grounds


Inside Parliament Building - everyone loves vaulting like this huh?



The House of Commons (Canada also has a Senate - learn something?)


The view from the tower - just below the Clock!
This is the library - which was decidedly Harry Potteresque inside; Liana: "I half expected the books to fly across the room in front of us"


The Memorial room; the guide giving us a history lesson - which held something for all of us ;)


After our tour of Parliament we went across the river - back to Quebec! - to the Museum of Civilisation.
WOW.
