Roadtrip PICS - Toronto to Gaspé - (56K alert)

[inTgr8r]

(for those that haven't seen these already)


My co-pilot & I got back this week from 1.5 week road trip with some friends.

We traveled from Toronto along the north shore of the St Lawrence, across to Gaspe.
We looped around the coast, back to Quebec City for a few days and then home.

Round trip ~3400 km (+ 2100 miles)
Had a fabulous trip in the roady.... it was top down at least 90% of the time.

The Route...



& a sample of some of our pics.....
Our 1st picnic stop


Montebello - Ottawa river N. shore


A typical little town with a huge church - from roadside picnic area

one more

This one is the famous Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré

Still at Sainte-Anne, we had one of our, all time, top 10 dinners here.


Baie-Saint-Paul



Saguenay river crossing


This next series is all along the Gaspé coast.... including some amazing driving








Reford Botanical Gardens.... (just a sample)



Then Old Quebec City (again.... just a sample)





and finally.... Montmorency Falls, just outside QC.

I must visit Canada soon - a place I've longed to go to all my life.

We do a road trip every summer... it's tons of fun to get the Z out on some great driving roads.
BTW... a little teaser for next years run

Next year!!!! :!: Looks like it is not a very heavily traveled stretch of road. It looks like fun. What highway is it?

That's the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.

It certainly is like the North West of Scotland.

Except there's no Rain, single track roads and no Midges and a distinct lack of speed traps.

We also drive on the right side of the road which is the left.




Midgie: Terrifying, tiny, blood-sucking, wee b*****d of an insect that chews lumps out of folk, mostly on the West Coast of Scotland.

My folks live near Cairngorms, you get half-eaten to death there, too :lol: I hate the little fu**ers.
