Day 68 – Riviere-du-loop – rest day

Thursday August 9th

Today was a planned rest day so I could whale watch. I had booked a reservation by phone yesterday and was quite excited to see some whales for the first time outside of captivity. I had some time in the morning so I caught up on the blogs and went for breakfast. The breakfast was a straight up omelette for $12 but had fresh fruit and really good cheese and mushroom inside to become the best paid for breakfast of the trip.

Day 67 – Quebec City to Riviere-du-loop – 206 kilometers

Wednesday August 8th

BIG DAY!

I want to thank Jean-Claude and Marie Tracy again for their hospitality. I was up early and Marie joined me for some toast and tea. She also slipped me $40 for the cause. I packed up as people slowly made their way out of their slumbers. After a couple of parting shots I was on my way heading North toward Quebec city before heading East again along beautiful farm country. Imagine the rolling hay and wheat fields of Saskatchewan with small tree covered mountains and valleys with small rivers. This is the beauty of the Quebec countryside and I stopped many times to take it all in. Today was going to be a long one so I couldn’t stop too often but I wanted to remember this unique countryside.
