This morning we had breakfast with
Bumblebee1 and his wife Chantel, thanked them for their hospitality, and made
our way towards Quebec City. I can
barely remember the last time I was in Quebec City; it was on a school trip in
grade 7.
Last year we went on vacation in Cuba and
had met a group of fun loving people from Quebec. We had contacted Denis & Isabelle and
asked them if it was ok for us to drop by.
They were delighted to hear from us and told us to come by anytime. We decided it would be best to drop by
tomorrow being a Friday and all. To kill
time, we rode around Quebec City to get a feel for the place.
The day was very hot and very busy with
tourists
Inside the fortified city walls, Quebec is
one of the oldest cities in North America.
We learned later on that motorcycles aren’t allowed within the city walls
because of unwanted noise and possibly in response to the emergence of biker
gangs back in the 70’s.
Looking at this picture, we could be
somewhere in France for all we know. Can
you tell the difference?
Chateau Frontenac, a national historic site
of Canada
Not knowing where to camp for the night, we
rode north to the outskirts of the city to see what we could find. We stopped to have dinner and discussed
possible options.
This picture is taken the next morning, but
we ended up camping in the back of this fire hall in Stoneham et Tewkesbury
under the cloak of night.
Shhhhh don’t tell anyone.
