Grand Falls

We woke up to our alarm at 07:00 because the overnight stay was allowed until then at the public library. By 07:30 we started our tour of mechanics and we had luck at the 5th one who called another location in town and they said that they'll have a look at it at 14:00. So we had time to check out some shopping places and then had our first breakfast in the van.
Afterwards we explored the city Fredericton which is the capital of New Brunswick and has a cute little historic center. We arrived earlier at the workshop in the hope that it'll work out and we can continue soon. After I explained what's wrong and the info I already had, they took it to the workshop and we were in a nice waiting area right next to it and could see them working. Just like Ruedi is in surgery and we were nervously waiting to see if he'll make it through it 🙈 After two hours they came to us with the status report: Ultimately they narrowed the issue down to a valve but couldn't find any part that will fix it, which means we're going to drive in limp mode for a while. So the turbocharger is electronically throttled down to prevent any issues. Therefore we can continue our tour, just a little bit slower 😁
Right after that we drove two hours to Grand Falls, a nice little town with a prominent waterfall and gorges. As it wasn't that late we decided to continue further on to the next province, Quebec. The weather was getting a lot better in the afternoon and we had a beautiful sunset. We found a nice little spot in the village of Saint-Louis-du-Ha!-Ha! right next to a church but it's starting to get pretty cold 🥶Read more
