Well, we've gone as far east as you can go without a boat so we are heading back west, albeit by a somewhat circuitous route. Poking around in various towns, some hiking, (and sacking in late), make it a 2-day trip to the next major stop, Saguenay National Park. Following the north shore of the Gaspe Penninsula from Forillon west to Riviere du Loup, Then crossing the St Lawrence by ferry, and then back west a bit to Tadoussac, bring view after view of the rugged coast and sleepy towns against the massive St Lawrence Gulf/River.
Trying to make me jealous |
The highlight of this leg of the trip was on the ferry ride across the St Lawrence when we spotted a whale about 400 yards away. It surfaced about 6 times. No big show, but an added attraction to the ride. People pay big money for a whale watching cruise. We paid big money too, but got the Funmobile across the river included in the price.
Good Night From Tadoussac
I am having nightmares just looking at the map! Glad you could enjoy the "peace and serenity of the surrounding wilderness" this time. Probably helps to not be dodging eye daggers the whole time :)
