The trip (part III of III) - Mr favourite of the 3 -->Quebec City Even for McDonald's - such a simple fast-food restaurant - has such nice outlook. So different from the usual ones. Right behind us is Chateau Frontignac (castle - the one with green roof). I regretted not taking its night view which is really beautiful (as seen from postcards). We didnt choose to stay at tt place bcos it's about $40cad/person more. Well, Hilton hotel is good enough. Took some of the things sold in the shop. X'mas deco, collectible items, souvenirs, candys etc. End of our day by chilling out at the Hilton Hotel, finishing up all the chips, biscuits and milo we brought. Oh, not forgettin to take loads of pictures of... THE TOILET. haha. ok, will soon head back to boring waterloo in 10hrs time...

First destination of the day,
Ice Hotel. I have been waiting for that since the very first day. Every winter, they'll sculpt this amazin structure and it'll last all the way till the end of winter(end of march). You can imagine how low the termperature is, which allows the hotel to remain solid in the open. The tour guide was saying that it costs $1000cad per night to stay. Well, i really can't take the cold because there's no furnace in the hotel at all. I'll consider if they pay me $1000cad per night. The sceneries on our way there has already warned me of the cold. . . Snow-capped houses and trees, snowy grounds and gloomy sky... (click on the pics for better view. it's really nice)
How cool can it get?! they even have a nightclub in the hotel. The signboards, tables, chairs, cups, shelves and in fact everything, are made from ICE!!!. duh... it's "ICE HOTEL"!!! haha. The cup of cocktail look so yummy. Nice presentation of colour combination!
Let's see what else they have in the hotel which i didnt expect to be sculpt from ice --> sofa, toilet signs, stage, huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling and beds...
oH YA.. the beds.. they have different suites. Each room has its own theme and so the designs on the walls, the styles of the beds and the furnitures in the rooms are all sculpt in different patterns. 
I saw a map of the ice hotel and the word "SPA" caught my attention. i was expecting a sauna for me to take a break from the cold. Well, better than nothin, we found a jacuzzi tub with water at 140degrees celcius. i placed my numb hands in the tub, without feeling the heat at all?! At the end of the ice-hotel tour, my camera has officially passed out(low-batt). time to depend on others' cameras now... 
The gate to OLD QUEBEC CITY (the arch behind us)! I didnt realize i actually enjoy old architecture until i stepped into this city. We were given 2hrs to explore the whole place.
Joo and i wanted to enjoy a cup of hot coffee and some pastries by the window and so we headed to a cafe. Don't we just look like we are shooting some advertisement for the place? Check out some of the architectures which look realli cool.
