Parliament Tour

After making it through the Airport style security OK - Thankfully my trousers didn't fall down when my belt was removed! - We are shown round for an hour and are told about the architecture, history and current politics that goes on in these buildings. We have a look in to the House of Commons (Green like the UK), The long corridors, The Senate (Equivalent of the House of Lords) and also the recently renovated Library. There are lots of fantastic sculptures everywhere and also paintings of all the English Monarchs. There are many of the same traditions here as in the UK parliament and whole tour lasts 1 hour - If you head to Ottawa then do this - it is free too!
