Day 4
Again more rain, except this time we spent the night in one of the Park Service's large canvas tents, staying completely dry for once. Granted, we woke up every fifteen minutes from 5Am to 7:30 to make sure the rangers weren't coming to evict us, but over all it was a good place to sleep.
We struck camp and drove the 45 minutes to the cathedral in Ste. Anne-de-Beaupre. The place is massive and very impressive with the cathedral's grandeur giving a stong European feel. The weather has also turned from cold rain to sunny and hot. Hopefully our next stop will allow the tent to finally dry.
We attempted to find a hostel for the night in Quebec City to catch up on a few days of showering, but seeing how the city was all booked, we put the Wagon into drive and headed west. The countryside on the north shore of the St. Lawrence was again very agrarian and quaint, with small towns plopped between seemingly endless fields.
Our original plan to was camp outside of Montreal, but seeing as that would have been a few more hours of driving we stayed at the HI Trois Rivieres.
The hostel was nice and clean and we had the place to ourselves. A run through the city showed it to be sketchy away from the downtown area, but the Old Port looks to be worth a second visit-at least for a few beers.
