Another summer, another opportunity for a motorcycle trip, My motorcycle has been serviced, new brake pads and disks, and new Metzeler tires installed by Goodtimes in Ottawa. I've decided that with the Canadian dollar at around 75 cents US it's time for a trip in Canada. So I will be traveling east, first along the south shore of the St-Laurence, across New Brunswick to Saint John, where I`ll take the ferry to Digby. After a couple of days visiting with our good friends Jane and Peter it's off to Halifax and then North Sydney. A ferry will then deliver me to Port-aux-Basques Newfoundland from where I plan to ride up the west coast of The Rock to St Barbe. The third ferry of this trip will take me to Blanc Sablon on Québec's North Shore.
And then, probably the coolest part of this trip will be a two day ride south along the coast on a ferry/supply vessel where my motorcycle will be loaded into a container. My cruise will end at Havre St-Pierre. The plan for now is to ride south along the North Shore through Québec City and back home
While there are parts of this trip that I've already visited, I'm sure I will discover many new sites and I will try to share my adventures with you on a regular basis. I hope you will be able to join me for the ride.
Some territory we have just covered.
ReplyDeleteKamouraska is nice place to stop for a break bakery and offer shop two doors west). Bistro de la Mer at east end of town and Oellette fish smoking a little east of there and on river side of Principale.
Watch for Covered Bridge potato chips just at Hartland exit of TransCanada. We liked the unsalted and the sea salt ones.
Going through Wolfville? Head to Luckett vineyard for lunch high above Gaspereau valley.
In Halifax seek out The Little Oak bistro at Bishop's Landing on waterfront for a drink and sardine rillettes. Enjoyed the dinner at Chive. Maritime Musuam and Pier 21 if you have that kind of time.
Bonne voyage.
