The final leg of our trip was through Québec and around the Gaspésie peninsula. This province rarely disappoints me.

Cape Breton Highlands and Cabot Trail
May 22-23, 2012
Posted on June 4, 20142012baddeckcanadacape bretonCape Breton Highlands National Parkmaritimesmotorcyclenational parksnova scotiatravelCabot Trail was meant to be the highlight of our trip: it’s one of those beautiful twisty coastal roads that are a pleasure to travel by when you just want to enjoy the ride and not get from point A to point B. Unlike the Pacific Coast Highway in Oregon, Washington and California, Cabot Trail exemplifies that notion as you literally cannot get very far: it’s a 300 km loop.

But what we were about to experience first was arguably the best seafood chowder money can buy, served in the modest looking Harbour View Restaurant.

To the East Coast: Getting to Alma
May 18-19, 2012
Posted on May 24, 20142012canadahwy 132maritimesmotorcyclenew brunswickquebectravelIt has been in the works for a while: a trip to the eastern provinces on our motorcycle. It was the first time we went on a multi-day trip with a bike and the idea of living for over a week out of a single 55L box was mildly challenging. Pro-tip: it’s easier if you prepare yourself by ditching checked luggage whenever you fly, no matter for how long. Not entirely sure what to expect, we set up an itinerary to visit Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Cape Breton (specifically Cabot Trail) in Nova Scotia, followed by Percé and Kamouraska in Québec.
