Wednesday Saguenay and Thursday Quebec City, Quebec

Last full cruise day. We walked around Saguenay, quite a way to the library where we got internet access. However, the blog I wrote there seems to have disappeared! Lovely town, very French again. We did a lot of packing, had a formal dinner tonight and said farewell to our dinner mates from the past 13 nights. We exchanged email addresses, so there will probably be some ongoing contact; lovely couples, both somewhat older than us, in fact we felt like youngsters, looking around the cruise generally.
Tonight we had the Dutch Chocolate Extravaganza, an amazing display of all sorts of desserts to tempt us poor starving cruisers who had just had a 4-course meal! Lots of yummy pictures to show you when we can download one or two.
Thursday, Quebec City, Quebec
Disembarkation process when you're the only ones leaving the ship is quite different; all the other passengers were able to head off on tours, but we were "prisoners of Holland" until the customs officials arrived to grant us entry to Canada. All the port officials we've struck in Canada have been very friendly people - rather refreshing!
Now we're at Quebec airport awaiting our flight to Newark, New Jersey, then to Knoxville, Tennesee where we'll go by cab to Gatlinburg (about 1 hour away), late tonight.
