We went to climb Mount Royal last weekend......which means i kinda procrastinated in posting up photos...=) anyways, mount royal is suppose to be the highest peak in montreal....i think the locals calls it 'mont royale'....pronouce the royale like in the james bond movie, Casino Royale...=)
ok, apparently, the initial founder of mount royal went on to name this place Montreal....so this is where Montreal gets it's name....actually, we shouldnt call this a mountain, it should be called a hill or even a park....coz it's not that high, i think it's like Mount Faber....the flight of stairs at NUS business school is steeper lor....
so the 3 of us went climbing...and we realised that there was a bus going up to the mountain...i think almost half way up.....and coming back, we just took the bus down....it was a bad day for mountain climbing, as the weather was gloomy, like going to rain, making the pictures quite dark...besides that, the temperature was quite cold, like 12degrees like that....so we barely sweat at all....we were actually freezing.....walking to keep warm...=)
Pics: (I just chose some to post up!)
the cross at the top of the mountain...at night, they will on it at night, and u might be able to see the cross even from very far away...
Squirrel...many squirrels around...all not scared of people one...
Bus/metro monthly pass..
Waiting in the bus stop for the bus to take us back down..we waited inside coz outside was damn cold probably touching 10 degrees..
The sky looks kinda gloomy....it drizzled a bit..
