Ottawa

We bought a Voyageur bus pass at Toronto for travelling east coast of Canada.  We decided to go to Ottawa at first.  It took about five hours to get to Ottawa from Toronto. Ottawa is the capital city of Canada.  We visited the house of parliament, a symbol of Ottawa which rise on the parliament hill nearby Ottawa River. It was beautiful Gothic building and I felt like I’m in England. You can see great view of the parliament across from the Ottawa River.  Ottawa is a compact and well-maintained city.  By-ward market square which is located in downtown Ottawa was interesting and relaxing.  It is one of the oldest and largest markets in Canada. There are many little restaurants hidden in the back of the street.  We enjoyed eating lunch and watching street performance.
