from Québec to Tadoussac - Canada HD Travel Channel
Our route from Quebec City to Tadoussac leads along the Saint Lawrence River heading north. No matter how interesting the big cities of the east coast may be, but we are glad to get to know the scenic attractions and wildlife of Canada. The road passes through big woodlands in the foothills of the Laurentides. Past picturesque coves and small villages, such as Bai Saint Paul, La Malbaie, it continues towards Tadoussac. We cross Canada's only fjord, the valley of the Saguenay, by ferry.

Von Québec nach Tadoussac fahren wir den Sankt-Lorenz Strom entlang Richtung Norden. So interessant die großen Städte der Ostküste auch sind, so sind wir nun doch froh, die landschaftlichen Reize und die Tierwelt Kanadas kennen zu lernen.
Die Straße führt durch große Waldgebiete in die Ausläufer der Laurentides. Vorbei an malerischen Buchten und kleinen Dörfern, wie Bai Saint Paul oder La Malbaie, geht es Richtung Tadoussac. Wir überqueren den einzigen Fjord Kanadas, das Tal des Saguenay, mit der Fähre.

Entry Title: Whale Watching
Entry:
Today was whale watching day, but as we drove up the road from Quebec to San Simeon, we noticed that the entire river valley was socked in with dense fog. The air temperatures were very hot that week, and the high humidity combined with the relatively low water temperature can lead to these kinds of conditions.
Of course, we tried to trust the GPS with directions, and we were pretty good until the thing suggested we drive off into a small neighborhood on our way to a shorter route. During that part of the trip we encountered a one-way street that we could not navigate, and we also were blocked by an 18-wheeler that was stuck trying to make a turn in this small neighborhood and was hitting other vehicles as he attempted to get out of the jam. (In retrospect - seeing an 18-wheeler in this neighborhood should have given me some confidence that the route was valid - but it didn't seem that way at the time...). We also made a stop at one of the many Tim Hortons coffee shops to pick up some coffee.
We persevered, and eventually made it to the whale watching site in San Simeon. After further confusion on where to park and get oriented for the trip, we discovered that the trip had been cancelled due to some rough-ish seas at the dock that made it hard to get in or out of the boat. At least, that's what we think it was. This far up the river, the English language is not understood or spoken by everyone, and we had quite some fun trying to explain things or understand issues when unexpected events took place. For us, it was part of the fun.
Anyway, we came to learn that we could be scheduled on another trip that launched out of a site another 30 minutes up the road, at Baie-Sainte-Catherine, across the fjord from Tadoussac (see Tadoussac Wiki). What the heck, we thought -- hoping that for all of this trouble we would at least be able to see one whale through the fog -- which seemed to get more dense every hour. Would this stuff ever burn off? It didn't seem so.
Up we went to the next whale watching site. We had some time to kill, so we did our best to soak up the atmosphere in the small town. Fortunately, there was a marine museum of sorts right by the dock where the boats launched -- and we were able to learn some interesting things about this particular part of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Turns out that at this spot, the river goes from being 1000 feet deep to being about 200 feet deep, and the tidal action causes the deep, cold water with all of it's excellent nutrients to be forced up near the surface. This is why the whales like this area so much. Warm-water swimming, with cold-water food. We got some of our own food at a nearby hotel that acted as a staging area for tourists preparing for the whale watching trips.
Finally we were on our boat, and to our surprise the visibility was fine. Almost immediately after leaving the dock, we ran into a pod of beluga whales (yes, it's a pod. For other animal group names, see s/AnimalGroups.html). We continued to see belugas, fin whales, and a minky whale (insert Inspector Clouseau joke here) the entire 3-hour trip. It was fantastic, and by the time we started to head back, the fog actually started lifting, and we could finally get a sense of the beauty around us. Fantastic!
After driving back to Quebec (staying on the main road all the way this time, just to anger the GPS) we walked up into town again for some good eats. What a day...

Montreal in Canada has a population of 4,027,100, landmarks, travel, tourism
Greater Montreal is the most populous metropolitan area in Quebec, and the second most populous in Canada after Greater Toronto. In 2015, Statistics Canada identified Montreal's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) as 4,258.31 square kilometres (1,644.14 sq mi) with a population of 4,027,100.[3]
A smaller area of 3,838 square kilometres (1,482 sq mi) is governed by the Montreal Metropolitan Community (MMC) (French: Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, CMM). This level of government is headed by a president (currently Montreal mayor Valérie Plante).
The inner ring is composed of densely populated municipalities located in close proximity to Downtown Montreal. It includes the entire Island of Montreal, Laval, and the Urban Agglomeration of Longueuil.
The outer ring is composed of low-density municipalities located on the fringe of Metropolitan Montreal. Most of these cities and towns are semi-rural. Specifically, the term off-island suburbs refers to those suburbs that are located on the North Shore of the Mille-Îles River, those on the South Shore that were never included in the megacity of Longueuil, and those on the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Peninsula. Communities in that area are also informally referred to as the 450, after the telephone area code that has served the region since 1998.
Due to their proximity to Montreal's downtown core, some suburbs on the South Shore (Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Lambert, and Boucherville) are usually not included in the off-island suburbs even though they are on the mainland.Baie-d'Urfé
