After a delightful sleep
in a big blue bed in a warm and dry room, we were fed an amazing breakfast by
our B&B host, Marc – a man who knows his way around the kitchen, let me
tell you! He’s a keeper, that’s for sure. Well-sated, we were on the road by
9:20 under sunny skies with a cool, early-Autumn breeze at our backs. This part
of the province is truly beautiful, and we enjoyed the scenery immensely. The
river and mountains to our left was an unchanging backdrop as the unique
landscape of the Kamouraska region on our left morphed from rolling farmland to
Canadian Shield rocky outcroppings with dramatic peaks and valleys and back
again.
The small town of
Kamouraska itself was a highlight, perched as it is on one of these little
Shield mountains overlooking the river. The brightly coloured houses and
eel-fishing traps in the water below made it familiarly “east coast” while
still feeling quite exotic. We camped for the night at a rock-climbing park in
St. Andre called SEBKA, setting up our tent and making dinner like the
well-oiled machine that we now are, and enjoyed a very crisp and cool night,
dreaming of home.
Av. Spd.: 19.6 km/h

Nicest tourism official: The lady outside of St. Andre who said we
spoke very good French!
