A massive days ride takes me from Quebec along the eastern shore of New Brunswick and into Prince Edward Island. A friendly hostel awaits together with dinner in a lively street mall with local performers.

I leave Forillon for Perce to see the well photographed Rocher Perce. Departing Perce I gear up for some imminent rain. It's a wise decision as I head into black clouds and then rain that doesn't stop until mid afternoon. Cold and wet I arrive in Pointe-a-la-Garde. A small town near the border of Quebec and New Brunswick. A crazy but rich local decided in the 1980's that he wanted to live in a castle, so he built one (out of wood) it's now a hotel...

A beautiful coast road runs along the northern shore of Gaspe from Ste Anne des Monts to Forillon national park and the head off to the peninsular. I hike to the look out and the top of the peninsular which offer views over to Perce.

I spend the morning hiking back to the bike before riding to the other side of the park to hike to lake America and Mont Xalibu. I head back to the coast and camp the night on the beach.

I spend the day in Parc de la Gaspesir hiking and spend the night at a back country camp where i meet two med students. We share their chocolate fondu and play cards before calling it a night.
