Camping adventures in Grandes-Bergeronnes

OK... let's put it all out there: I am not a big camping fan. While I don't totally hate it, camping usually fits somewhere on the "meh" scale for me. This time, Andreas can consider himself a camping-booking-genius because we had, not only the best weather, but the best view ever (see the link for Camping Mer et Monde here). We literally were able to whale watch from the picnic table at our camp site. Yesterday, the dinner show included a bottle of good red wine and some fin whale/beluga/blue whale sightings. The boys didn't even remember their Fortnite withdrawal while the whales were right in front of us (NOW that is something!). The thing that I liked the most was that we were not on a boat, going to the whales but that they actually came to us! It was totally awesome and, needless to say, I absolutely recommend it. Yes, me. I am actually recommending camping. Just do it. You are welcome ;)

After our beautiful weather, we are now sitting in our hotel room in Rivière Éternité, Québec. We came here for a "little" hike to see the Saguenay Fjord. Ummm....the hike did not end up being so little so we are now enjoying the much deserved break. Pictures will follow tomorrow..... Also, to give Andreas further credit in the planning department, it is now raining.... and we are no longer in a tent... and camping is no longer on the "meh" scale ;) Tomorrow, we head back to Montreal... and home!

Now, here is a bit of photo spam from Grandes-Bergeronnes.... and the whales:

  3. Så fantastiske billeder. Jeg har nydt hvert og et på IG, og nu her.
    Til campinglivet hører lejrbål, marshmallow, guitar, natur, rigtig påklædning,insektnet og kun i nogle få dage, så det er muligt at komme i en rigtig seng ;-) Bare en campingvogn er nok, altså så min "gamle" krop ikke skal kravle ind på en madras dernede på jorden ;-)

    1. Two nights were good... but the hotels were much appreciated ;) I always feel a bit jealous of Catarina and her caravan! ;) xox
