Day 13: The Long drive back to Quebec

Day 13: Moncton NB to Trois Rivieres QC

I'm very sad to say that today was our last day in the east coast.  Today we drove from Moncton, New Brunswick to Trois Rivieres, Quebec.  It was a very very long drive, taking about 9 hours total on the Trans Canada.



There's no direct route through Maine, so the Trans-Canada has to go north, and then turn south west along the south shore of the St Lawence River. The drive through New Brunswick was very boring.  The hwy was just straight for most sections, and nothing to see but trees and the occasional lake or river.  At least the speed limit was 110 kph.

As we drove into Quebec, there was a town called Saint-Louis-Du Ha! Ha!
Those exclamation marks are actually part of the name of the town...so awesome
According to wiki, its the only town name in the world with 2 exclamation marks.

We arrived in Trois-Rivieres by 5pm. Marg's Fit-Bit strap broke (watch type thing that measures how active she is), so we made a beautiful walk through Trois Rivieres' slightly sketchy side to get some Hello Kitty tape  at a Wall Mart to fix her strap. Tomorrow is off to Ottawa for 2 days.
Ottawa should be fun, but we are sad that our time in the east coast is done...bye bye NFLD
