Day 3 - Tue August 2, 2016

Day 3 - Tue August 2, 2016

Overnight stop is Rivière-du-Loup to
Matane 
223km - 4hrs
Sunny then Cloudy 17c
Riotel Sea Side Hotel in Matane

This is a short travel day of about 220km, with some stops at Rimoski for the lighthouse and another Canadian Submarine which is open for tours.  Looks like they are getting 10x the number of visitors then the sub in Port Burwell, ON.  We also found the CN/VIA Station in Rimoski, no trains.  The Ocean from Halifax/Montreal passes here at 3AM!!.

So we end our travel in Matane at 1pm, sounds like a short day, yes, but there is a plan here tomorrow the motorcycle hits the road for our 400km run into Perce and there are 6 lighthouses to stop at, so it will be action packed (for Atlantic Canada standards).

Car Ferry pulls out at 08:00 from Rivière de-Loup to Sante-Simeon (Quebec North Shore)

CN/VIA Station at Rimouski, QC
