Kathy, Mathieu and I go for breakfast at a nice restaurant on Saturday morning before I leave Quebec. I head off around lunchtime and chase the northern bank of the St Lawrence to Tadoussac. It's a beautiful ride made even better by clear skies and a warm sun. I arrive in Tadoussac around 6 after catching the ferry across the fjord. Mathieu had found a hostel/campsite on the web and when I arrive i find a backpackers oasis. Masses of friendly crew, live music, cheap beer a camp fire and one other anglophone (Jiajia from Manchester).
