Day 80. Thursday 18th July. Brule Campsite to Glace Bay Nova Scotia.

We lost an hour late yesterday. Someone came and just took it away.  Our campsite was pretty raw but most enjoyable. Mostly inhabited by a number or large RV (Recreational Vehicles or monster caravans). It rained hard till about 10pm, but this morning we woke to glorious sunshine. By the…

Day 79. Wednesday, 17th July. From Pokeshaw, New Brunswick to Brule, Nova Scotia

Today has been much calmer than yesterday. No dramas! We left our campsite near Pokeshaw early, at 09.00. We thought the owner would either come and ask us for money, or to move on, but we saw no sign of him. As none of the facilities were working and all…

Day 78. 20k’s East of Campbellton on a Sand Spit to Pokeshaw. New Brunswick.

What a glorious camp site. A narrow sand/gravel bridge with the ocean on one side and a river on the other.  A leisurely pack up and ready to go around 9.30am. Getting back along the sand spit should have been easy as we had no trouble getting in. However, a…

Day 77. Monday, 15th July, From Gaspe to about 20 ks from Campbellton and the border with New Brunswick

I made the most of the comforts of our motel room this morning  A bathmat to step out of the shower on to, instead of a muddy floor. A coffee machine. These sort of things don’t bother Dennis, but from a lady’s point of view, such little details are important!…

Day 76. Sunday 14th July. Cap Chat to Gaspe Quebec.

First of all. It’s been a momentous day, for a number of reasons. Federer beaten at Wimbledon, but a mighty battle. Well done Djokovic. England won the World Cup Cricket. Well done England. We could only get bits of both events. Jen was glued, I mean GLUED to the phone…

Day 75. Saturday, 13th July. From St. Andre to Cap Chat, Gaspe Peninsula

Our campsite was very spread out so we were miles away from the facilities. It was damp and grey when we woke, so another day of packing up a wet tent. We got everything stowed away and headed over the hill to the office, where the wifi worked and to…

Day 74. Friday 12th July. Quebec to St Andre. Quebec.

The less said about the start of the day, the better. We had an electrical issue. It could have been solved in a few minutes but 51/2 hours later, I told the mechanic/con man to come out and leave the vehicle. He had managed to restore some of the functions…

Day 73. Thursday, 11th July. From Deschaillons-sur-Saint-Laurent to Quebec City

Awake early after a restless night. Dennis was pondering over our electrics problem and trying to work out what the problem was. Last night when we had set up camp, and thought all was well, we discovered it was not. I was cooking dinner and tried to get some water…

Day 72. Wednesday 10th July. St-Roche-de-Richelieu to Deschaillons-sur-St-Laurent

After a shower, shave and things, the next job required, clean the Landy. It’s been looking pretty crusty lately. On the road by 11.30am.  It’s different, Quebec. It’s very very French, and lovely. The little towns are quaint and there is lots of pride in their houses and gardens. It’s…

Day 71. Tuesday, 9th July. From Wendover to St-Roche-de-Richelieu, North East of Montreal

I made use of the Post Office and purchased some stamps, before we moved off from their grassy area, which had been our resting place for the night. We took some minor roads to start the day with lovely farming countryside. Mostly arable, growing maize and soya beans. Villages with …
