9/27/18 TO THE SHIP:  

We were up at our usual 0600 and got cleaned up and ready for breakfast. This morning Jean prepared a wonderful pancake, more like a crepe as well as all the other breakfast goodies. Jean apologized that there were no croissants or muffins as Oushki at some time during the night helped himself to the pastries. He was somewhat in the dog house.

I ate the pastries, but I am too cute to be made at 

We packed up and retired to the B&B front porch where we met the other couple staying there. They are from Saguenay and when they learned we were sailing on the Disney Magic, they explained the city would be out to greet us. We will be looking forward to the greetings and fireworks.

We called for an Uber ride to the port and he was there in no time. This driver was from Tunisia. After being dropped at the entrance to the port, our bags were dropped off. As the port did not open for check in until later we were off looking for a coffee shop, and one was found just a couple blocks away. 

Soon it was time to head back to the port and check in, ID check, health card, get room key etc etc and see friends from near and far. Soon we boarded and made our way to lunch. Soon our room was ready and we changed clothes and started some laundry. Our bags arrived rather quickly so we got unpacked and settled into our stateroom. It is nice to unpack and not live out of a suitcase for the next couple weeks. 

As this is the Halloween Season the ship is decorated accordingly, as you can see in the picture posted here. 

With laundry done, hung and folded, we did a walkabout the ship and got ready for the mandatory safety drill. 

After the safety drill, knowing it was over 4 hours till we are scheduled for dinner, we went and grabbed a small bite to fill the gap. We then got off the ship and headed to the ferry terminal to get information for operational hours. Thinking it might be some nice photo light in the morning, we put off this journey. We decided to head up to the Chateau Frontenac, a landmark of Quebec City.   After visiting the Chateau Frontenac, we strolled  along the board walk and climbed the 310 stairs of the Governors Promenade.  

Making our way back down the hill we decided to stop at Mary’s Popcorn and get a small bag of very tasty popcorn, I got the Quebec Mix a combination of maple covered, yellow cheddar and white cheddar popcorn. Lynn decided on the maple covered and the salted caramel flavor. Back to the ship to clean up for dinner with plenty of time to spare. 

Thus far, on about 14000 steps, but I am beginning to think Quebec City is a city of stairs and inclines.
