Day 31 (Aug 29th) - Jardin Botanique de Montreal

Day 31 was a huge day we walked and walked and walked around (close to 300 kms, I'd reckon) the Jardin Botanique de Montreal (Botanical Gardens) and it was amazing. I think it is going to be better to take you personally through the gardens through the lens of our digital SLR. Prepare to be amazed!!
