Diefenbunker Museum Media Gallery

After my couple of nights at Mont-Tremblant, I went over to Ottawa to spend a couple of nights there as well. Before I was due to check in, I went to the Diefenbunker Museum for a tour. The Diefenbunker Museum is an underground bunker built in the early 1960s due to rising tensions stemming from the Cold War. In the event of a nuclear attack, the bunker can house key government officials (such as the Prime Minister) where they can continue to execute their duties. If the bunker is under lockdown, there is enough food to feed a staff of 535 people for 30 days.

Mont-Tremblant: The Rest Of The Highlights

I have written my posts about going up to the summit to Mont-Tremblant, as well as experiencing Tonga Lumina. However, this is my post about the other things that were going on while staying at Mont-Tremblant. I stayed two nights at the 'Place St-Bernard' hotel in the middle of the Mont-Tremblant village.

Searching For The Giant At Tonga Lumina

One of the major summer attractions during my stay at Mont-Tremblant was the Tonga Lumina walk held every night at the mountain. Tonga Lumina is a walk that is self-described as a 'sensory experience', in which you walk down a path with various lighting and sound effects. Tickets are $27.99 plus tax for an adult.

Catching My Breath Atop The Summit Of Mont-Tremblant

Over the August long weekend, I had the privilege of staying a couple of nights at Mont-Tremblant in Quebec. Mont-Tremblant is a town in Quebec just north of Montreal, but its biggest attraction is the mountain overlooking the town, as well as the resort at the foot of the mountain. Most people know Mont-Tremblant for its skiing and other winter activities in the winter season, but the area is just as lively in the summer season. On one early morning, I used the gondola ticket that came with my hotel reservation and jetted myself up to the top of the mountain.

Restaurant Review: Eggstatic Artisian Breakfast and Brunch

Eggstatic (1568 Bayview Avenue, Toronto) is a restaurant that serves breakfast and brunch with a Middle-Eastern twist at reasonable prices.

I ordered the Spinach and Mushroom Benedict, and it had guacamole on it, which was an interesting choice. This was something I have not seen before. My meal also came with home fries, salad, and some fruit. I have to say that Eggstatic served an excellent breakfast. My only gripe with the meal was that there was too much balsamic vinegar in the salad, which made the inside of my mouth feel oily. The home fries had a satisfying crunch and had a thorough cooking. For the Spinach and Mushroom Benedict, the guacamole and the Hollandaise sauce made each bite incredibly creamy, with the right amount of substance from the English muffin.

This restaurant is an easy recommend. Great food with solid service.
