Ottawa - Cruise along the Ottawa River! Part I

In my previous stories I've described the cruise along the Rideau Canal and the Rideau Canal Ottawa Locks.

So now is the time of cruise along the Ottawa River. If the cruise along the Rideau Canal has been started from the top of Ottawa Locks, the cruise along Ottawa River has begun from the foot of the Locks.

Note: the Ottawa River flows into the St. Lawrence River and it is its biggest tributary with the lengths 1270 km. Also the Ottawa River is the border between Ontario and Quebec provinces.

In case of this cruise our pleasure craft was not so light as flatboat of the Rideau Canal since the Ottawa River is not the canal where waves may be prohibited by the human decision.

From the very beginning of the cruise the perfect panoramas have waited for us and now you will see..

the bottom up Ottawa Locks,...

the building of Parliament of Canada and the Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel,...

the Confederation Building,...

the panorama of Parliament Hill,...

the Alexandra Bridge and statue of one of the main founders of the New France Samuel de Champlain (up the hill far away)

two falls of the Rideau River,...

To be continued...and thank you for reading, voting and comments :D
