Raining and foggy


We packed a wet tent and doubled up on rain gear, then headed for the town of Gaspé for our morning coffee.
The road constructions were treacherous messes with all the rain and we had more narrow escapes than I care to remember.
The town itself is quite pretty, set on a nice harbour and looking very touristy (à la St. Andrews NB) but nevertheless attractive and interesting (would have been more so but for the rain).
On the south coastline of Gaspé the land mass is much flatter with many strands and beaches along the way. The towns of Percé, Bonaventure, and Carleton stand out above the rest for us.
Unfortunately, by the time we were to Percé we were both soaked, dripping wet right through the double rain gear, leathers and all! Needless to say we were not much in a mood to tour around the towns.
We started to see clearing somewhere around Nouvelle and by the time we got to Campbellton we were actually starting to dry out.
A quick stop for a coffee and then a “bee-line” for home!
We pulled into the yard around ten thirty, tired but glad to be home and headed for a real bed!
