East Coast 2010 - Gaspe Peninsula

After a brief delay due to a blown radiator in Kingston, we sped East and the holidays began in earnest. Rather than the usual turn east for New Brunswick, we carried on along the east bank of the St. Lawrence River, bound for the Gaspe Peninsula.

The scenery was stunning, and the camping was fabulous. Moreover, we learned that in a pinch, I can survive quite nicely en francais....at least as it pertains to procuring camp sites and ordering food and beer.

Forillon National Park was spectacular at the eastern tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, and much cheaper (actually, FREE!) in the offseason. The village of Perce and it's famous Roche (rock) weren't too shabby either.

Following the Bay of Gaspe, we wrapped around the peninsula after a few days and wandered into New Brunswick via the bridge at Campbellton.

Do you know the way to Gaspe?
