Montreal, Lake Placid, Alexandria Bay

Ok so the photos are uploaded back to front anyhoo... here is Brad at Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay, a gorgeous place that was never finished, built by the owner of the Waldorf hotel chain for his wife as a holiday home on a little island in the St Lawrence river which borders Canada and USA. She died suddenly and he never completed it.

Cruising the thousand islands in Upper New York State, we hired a boat and explored the river life, lots of little batches, scattered on islands, how cool would it be to have your own island!

In Lake Placid, home of the 1980 winter Olympics, we were all set to give bobsledding a try but it wasnt cold enough to keep the ice on the track solid, still got a cheesy tourist pic.

Playing killer with locals in the bar in Tupperware. A town with one taxi, which we used 4 times that night to visit the 4 pubs and he only charges $5 a journey what a bargin. Tupperware was home to a number of interesting biker guys and gals, true small town character, most people were stoned.
Contemplating the day, so nice to be outta the city.

Relaxing at the hotel in Montreal. We went on a company paid trip to Montreal which was rad, stayed at the Sheraton and really got to live it up, noice I tell ya
We took a horse and cart ride through old Montreal the beautiful original part of the city, it has a great vibe, heaps of open air cafes and bars, street performers and activites galore.
