When I said we went to the biosphere that was in fact an accident. We were actually looking for the biodome. The biodome simulates 7 different ecosystems and also acts as a zoo. Most excitingly it contains penguins from king to gentoo all the way to macaroni. The Biodome is housed in what was the velodrome used for the 1974 Summer Olympics which were held in Montreal. Unfortunately Canada did not win any gold medals that year, or the time after, better luck next time.
Next to the biodome is the huge olympic stadium which seated thousands upon thousands of people. Nowadays it is used for conventions and the odd rock concert. However, the last time it was used as a music venue was in 1997 by U2. Today you can only enter by guided tour and that is exactly what we did. Towering above the monstrous stadium stands a huge tower which provides a centrepiece for the Olympic park. All in all an amazing attraction and well worth a visit. Do you think if I keeep saying stuff like that I could get some sort of commission? The following day the road to Quebec began and we stopped of at yet another impressive church. It is so old it has ye olde escalators in lol! Very impressive nonetheless.
