Riding the Rock

First things first. I like Newfoundland. They, just like Quebec, sell beer in the gas stations. Not that I’ve bought any, but still, it shows that the province is forward thinking and doesn’t fall into silly liquor laws like some of the rest of the country. I’ve been in the province for 4.5 days so far and it has been a blast, and I’m glad it is I saved this area for last. With 570km to go until St John’s (I’m actually going to go a bit further) the kilometres [read more]


 
Beating the bad weather

Coming up close to the end of this phase, I’m writing this aboard the MV J&C Smallwood, traveling from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. I calculated sometime in July that I’d be doing this trip on the 18th of October, and I am not too disappointed that I’ve arrived a week late. The weather is good, I’ve had a good time spending time with people rather than rushing through and missing out on opportunistic moments, and to be frankly honest, I don’t want to stop touring.

East Coast Riding

  I’ve been trying to write a post for the past couple of days, but seem to be without a few things, whether it be internet, motivation, or energy to get anything done. I’m now writing this in a semi-lucid state doped up on some strong antibiotics and Vicodin painkillers from the capital city of PEI, Charlottetown – population 32,000. I was thinking all day it is the smallest capital city I’ve visited so far, but for some reason my mind has been foggy and I forgot that Whitehorse, Yukon [read more]

Heading into Merry Times

I spared myself from the cold temperatures by staying with a friend last night once I arrived into the capital city of New Brunswick, Fredericton. Initial thoughts of the city so far is that it has a definite east coast-small town-friendly vibe associated with it. Yards are groomed, streets are clean, and there are many people enjoying what looks like a bit of an Indian Summer that has come our way. That is still not to say that it is cold as hell at night! Yesterday (Wednesday) I was surprised [read more]
