City hoping or Cruising the fields?

You can do both in East Canada. Actually you have to do both in East Canada if you are like me with a sensitive nose for the smell of the airplane's close cabin. On the other hand if you enjoy driving through a constantly changing scenery (rich in vegetation) or clubbing with one of the most laid back nations of the northern hemisphere, then pack your hiking gear & a set of clothes for a night out and off you go. If your starting point is Boston then greyhound is your only option as Amtrak is not running to Montreal.

The following itinerary is not worth more than 5days unless you want to add Quebec city and Halifax.

From Boston to Montreal - You will fall in love with nature. Passing through the sparsely populated New Hampshire and Vermont you'll see numerous different trees, rivers and the cows producing the milk for Ben and Jerry's. Once you get in Canada a 3 meters tall wave of calmness will hit you. There isn't that many rivers and thus less flora. Houses are far from each other and most of them have a swimming pool in the back yard!


Montreal - The city has a very strong French character, 7 museums which I would highly advise in NOT to visit, tones of bars carrying something from the early 90's (the French early 90's), 3 after hour clubs (not serving booze) and immigrants from the Caribbean, Africa, Greece, Italy each of them creating a small neighborhood. In the city you can get easily access to w**d, strip clubs and prostit** all looking of low quality. People will speak to you in French for the first minute of each conversation indifferent of what language you speak to them. For some reason I didn't find that rude at all. At the moment it seemed normal; probably because I knew that they would soon switch to English and be helpful.

Toronto - Here you can expect more class. The financial capital of Canada is cleaner, more interesting architectural-wise, with a fantastic nightlife scene and an improvising club called "second city" (close to CN tower) which will make you laugh your socks off.

Niagara Falls - Not far from Toronto, NF is worth visiting (especially from the Canadian side which provides a better view) maybe for an overnight stay. The Hard Rock café, the casinos, the tours to the falls and the butterfly conservatory will fill a day's schedule.
