Green Weekend

19th Sept, Sat



Went walking around Gatineau Park after a good french breakfast prepared by Sly. Oh, what a relax morning if there is someone prepare you breakfast, no?!! hee..

Sly is making pan cake. French way of eating pan cake is adding fine sugar and squeeze of lemon


Maple syrup is a must for pan cake in canada


The maple leaf is turning red in autumn

There is this unique lake, named Pink Lake. The Pink lake is green in colour. Why called a green lake pink, because of the earliest settlement of this Pinkfamily in 1830s. This lake is unique due to the water at a depth of 13 m or more contains no oxygen. Thus the green colour water of Pink Lake.
It took us about 2 hours to walk round the Pink Lake. Indeed, it was a great exercise for me :)

People cycling, camping, picnic, jogging, photographing or just merely people watching in the park. This park is equiped with facilities, so i have no worries if i have any nature calls.

Baguette with chocolate hazelnuts

Fajitas - Mexican food

After visiting to Gatineau Park, we headed home to have little french et mexican tea break.
oh, the weekend-makan is never ending as we went to this cozy cafe after the tea break. (Ya i know, i must have put on a few pounds after). We went down town to Cafe Paradiso for some drinks with Sly's friends. There was a live band playing jazz when we arrived and we sat down cozily with our coat off.
The night swayed with lounge music lingering at the back and sipping with sangria and mojito cocktail.
