We were only going 200 km today so no need to get in a rush, we had a very lovely ride around the south side of the Gaspe Peninsula.
Let me tell you Newfoundland has to go some to beat the Gaspe for scenery, we have had just an awesome week.
Today we went through many little villages, here is one where a lot of fishing boats were just sitting idle out of the water.
We are camped for the night in the Municipal Park in Carleton sur Mer, and it is right out on the peninsula, it is perfect.
Everyone we have met along the way said to be sure to go up Mout Saint Joseph and so that is what we did and my goodness what a view.
The area looks like a patch work quilt with farms in all directions.
Ron got a little whimpy and would not go out with me out on the platform to look down over the cliff. It certainly was a long way down. We are parked at 35 feet about sea level and we were up at 2000 feet at the mountain top.
A church was built up on top in the 1930's and is still used today.
Back down on the bottom, we went for a walk after dinner, the park is probably over a mile in length and a lighthouse sits on one end. The tide was out so we had a nice beach to walk on, it looks sandy but is more gravel.
With such a beautiful day it is hard to say goodbye to the Gaspe and Quebec, the people have been great and we had a wonderful stay.
