After a 6h drive, a 5.50h flight and another 3.5h drive we got home safly yesterday. We didn't get any sleep on the plane and had to stay awake till the evening for the jetlag... After being awake for 31 hours we went to bed, how nice to sleep in our own beds again 😁
We bought some Canadian gin to enjoy once in a while and as a reminder of our great trip. We absolutely LOVE Canada!!!!!
On our last day we paid a visit to the Niagara falls, we where impressed with this beautiful peace of nature, altough it's a very tourisic place we enjoyed it.
Tomorrow we have a long drive, a long flight and another long drive ahead of us so we will go to bed early tonight, sweet dreams! Next blog will probably be from Belgium and we will take the time to answer to those who found our messages in a bottle 😁
We where on a tight schedule today to visit Toronto and we left the peace and quite behind us... We have to admit it was not our cup of tea, we did 4 cities and this one charmed us the least...
On our drive to Toronto we stopped on a parking and took some pictures of the great trucks, one of the drivers was so kind to show us the inside of his truck and even let us turn the key on, so cool 😎
Tomorrow is our last day and we have planned a visit to Niagara falls.
Instead of exercising our legs we chose a workout for our arms, canoeing 😁 a four our trip on Canoe Lake in Algonquin park. It was a beautiful experience.
Still no moose... So afterwards we did another hike and the closest we got to a moose was it's footprints and a little poopoo... 💩
We drove from Ottawa to Huntsville today, straight through Algonquin park where we made a stop for a small hike and a picknick. Indian summer is really colouring the scenery, it is magnificent!
The rest of the day we took it easy...
On our way we stopped in a gas station and saw the following quote from mother Theresa (the quote in our subject is the city slogan):
During breakfast our host told us about Omega Park, the place to go to see Canadian wildlife. At first we hesitated, but then we flipped a coin, heads was don't and moose was go... It was the moose... So we went. It's a drive trough park, so we sat in the car and drove among the animals. This way we saw a moose today, but we still hope to spot one during our hikes... It kind of feels like cheating.
Woohoo we spotted some deers today during a beautiful walk in 'Parc National du Mont-Tremblant' 🦌
Some peoples were curious about the food here, so we made a picture of every meal today 😋 The breakfast is always included in our accomodations and so far it was really good! The local specialities we haven't tried yet, because we take a picknick with us every time. One of those specialities of Quebec is 'poutines'... It doesn't look really teasty (you should Google it) 😉 but maybe we will try it.
Millions of trees in the world are accidentally planted by squirrels, who burry nuts, then forget where they hid them... We can see proof of that here! 🐿️
Today we had a long drive, direction Saguenay. We made some stops along the way with beautiful views.
In Val-Jalbert we visites the old village from 1920's.
For those who wonder why we post our messages in English, see the picture with the small bottle, we leave those in some places for strangers to find them. There is a little message and link to our blog inside.
When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles 😉
Rain is just confetti from the sky 🎉
Today we woke up and the sky was totally grey, it was even a little cold outside, so we put on our K-way and our walking shoes and hid the city of Quebec 🌧️🌧️🌧️
It was a nice walk through a historic city, with a touch of art.
We had a nice warm up with a hot chocolate from Starbucks ☕
Now it's time to rest and prepare the next few days of adventure in the national parcs, whoop whoop 🦌🦊🐿️🐻🦅🦉
It was a small step for Armstrong to put foot on the moon, it was 23776 steps for us to explore Montréal, a city full of nice monuments, a big variety of cafés and restaurants, beautiful views...
We will stay one more night at our cosy B&B and then we're off to Quebec.
Wij zijn er zo goed als helemaal klaar voor. We maakten een playlist vol leuke liedjes om mee te zingen op onze road trip. De wandelingen worden volop voorbereid op onze wandel-gps. Ons huis en onze katjes zijn in goede handen wanneer we weg zijn (dank u Greetje). We zijn voorzien om gezellig te kunnen picknicken. En ook de beren zullen we op veilige afstand kunnen houden dankzij Timon.
Vergeet ons blog niet toe te voegen aan jullie favorieten, zodat jullie volop kunnen meegenieten 😁
