East Trip


It is always good to wake to the anf have the view of Toronto Downtown directly in front of you.
Yes, I am back in the Condo, the East Tour is over and the West Tour will start tomorrow. A lot happened sonce my last post, so I best start with a map of the Tour:

The Tour started in Collingood (A), we drove through Ottawa (B), Montreal (C) and Quebec City (D). Next we made our way all the way to the East Coast of Quebec to "Forillon National Park" (E).
We drove on to CApe Breton, the northern part of Nova Scotia, where we saw some moose on a hike:


On the next morning we got into our car, but it wouldn't start anymore! So we called CAA (ADAC) and they towed us to the next garage



This was in Cheticamp (H), in the middle of nowhere, and we were stranded there for two nights to wait for a new fuel pump to be delivered.
Lucky us that Tim Hortons was there because besides going there and use WiFi, there was really nothing to do.

In the end our car could be repaired and we were back on the road. After visiting Sydney and Halifax, we decided to have a look at Harvard University and the MIT in Boston.



The MIT is one of the best Universities regarding engeneering and maths. But as good as it ios, so expensive is it. Without any scholarship you pay 54.000$ per year! And Harvard is even worse... there you can study everything else what you can't study at the MIT.
Boston itself is a very nice city with lots of green spots and a beautiful downtown. It is definitell a nice place to go to University.
Our route leaded us back to Toronto, on the way we visited the Niagara Falls another time, this time from the US side. The picture below is quite nice, but the Canadian side is much more exciting.
