We had a bit of a rushed breakfast after we found out that check-out time at the campground was 11AM and not 1PM as we had assumed. A quick water and gas filling along with groceries and we were off on the next leg of our journey around Gaspe. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the scenery spectacular. We drove up and down a few mountains but most of the time directly between the St. Laurence river and walls of rock. The St. Laurence is very wide at this point and looks almost like ocean. The rock face on the other side was fascinating with its folds and different layers of rock.

Every bay we drove through had a small town with cottages and camping available. Some of them seemed to be doing really well while others were not quite as busy.

We had hoped to stay at the Forillon National Park but were sidetracked roughly 50kms away from our destination by a historic site which turned out to the be the first marine wireless telegraph station in Canada, built in 1904. The visitor centre had closed at 5PM and we decided to make good use of their parking lot and stay for the night and will take the tour tomorrow.
