Apart from Canada’s
capital and few sports teams, I didn’t know a great deal about
Ottawa. When I thought about visiting Canada, cities like Vancouver,
Toronto, Banff and Montreal struck my mind and Ottawa was the last
destination in my list.
I visited Canada and
started with Toronto and Vancouver. I thoroughly enjoyed the
stress-free train ride while seeing fabulous countryside views of
Canada. The Wi-Fi facilities in trains were also exceptional.
Pulling into Ottawa, I
wasn’t greatly enthusiastic but the city certainly gave me a
pleasant shock. The picture-perfect Parliament Hill anchoring
downtown core looks amazing. The small and cozy Rideau Canal crossing
the city features amazing shades of reds and oranges and looks
absolutely fabulous. I also enjoyed biking along the trails of placid
Ottawa River.
After some outdoor
hunting, I headed to the Canadian Museum of Civilization. The weapons
and tools from Prehistoric era and 16th-century New France
speak volumes about greatness of past civilizations.
After sightseeing, it was
time for some appetizing food and shopping. I headed to Byward Market
which has close to 100 eateries. I ordered some seafood and also
tried beaver tail.
Since my visa was
expiring, so I had to leave Ottawa very soon. I look forward to make
amends on my next trip to this vivid city called Ottawa.
