Riviere-Du-Loup to Rimouski
Last night we were treated to a great sunset over the St. Lawrence as our room backed onto the river. It also provided a panoramic view of the ferry docking below. Again really tough to take!
On the road today by 7:55. The forecast was for a sunny blue sky with a moderate south west wind. The sunny blue sky worked out but boy were they 'out to lunch' about the wind. We struggled into a north east wind all day. You know meteorologists have to be the only people in the world who can be wrong 50% of the time and keep their jobs. (Well I guess they are on par with 'economists' and 'financial planners')!!! We worked hard today...not one pedal stroke was easy. (Well maybe the downhill where I almost hit 60 km)! The flat riding we have become used to in Quebec abandoned us today to hills some of which were downright 'difficult'. We also only had brief sightings of the St. Lawrence as the road stayed inland behind hills. (I guess those were the ones we were 'playing in' today)!
We have our tents set up in the Camping Motel De L'Anse just east of Rimouski. Sure hope it does not rain as we are on a site shaped like a bowl!!!
