I’ll try and help you with a few suggestions. I know Newfoundland best but that’s probably too far North for your trip.

For something tranquil, it’s pretty nice around 1000 islands. If you want a couple of days to chill out in a really beautiful place – its worth a visit. Some of the smaller hotels are really nice and would make for a very romantic break!

If you’re driving between Ottawa and Toronto then you could go via Algonquin (spelling may be wrong). It’s a national park and beautiful to drive through and has an art gallery in the middle of it as I remember.

In Montreal, the jazz clubs are an obvious choice. If you like jazz I can send you some specific suggestions. I saw Cassandra Wilson in Montreal, one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I’ll never forget her version of Neil Young’s Harvest Moon.

In Ottawa and the local area there is loads of white water rafting. Terrifying but don’t miss it!

And finally Niagra. You have to go but parts of it are horribly commercialised. But if you get chance go to Niagra on the Lake – there are a number of wineries near there.

Anyway the Canadians may be able to suggest a few more things. I feel in the mood for some Joni Mitchell now………....

ps Quebec City is wonderful too.
