Wawa

In the morning we took a little stroll through the old town center of Mont Laurier but it was quite small. A little park nearby had a fitness path so we did a little workout to get warm after the -1 degrees Celsius we were greeted to after coming out of the van 🥶
Then we drove the Trans-Canadian highway 117 through the very pretty wildlife reserve scattered allover the 200km with ponds.
At the end is the town Val d'Or, a gold mining camp established at the beginning of the 19th century following the discovery of rich gold reserves. There we walked through the mining settlement and a little loop trail out of town. From there we drove an hour to cross the border to Ontario for the first time with Ruedi. And we saw a super cute little fox by the road 🦊.

A little while later we stopped at a scenic spot for a late lunch and early dinner. When we got out of the van it was surprisingly cold and it looked like tiny snowflakes... A few hours later we were in the middle of a winter wonderland 🙈😅❄️
It was beautiful in the beginning but then we needed to drive 250km in the evening through a snowstorm until we came back to civilization (in this case a population of 3500). There were no proper places to stay in between and we didn't want to stop in the snow as it might have turned worse and we get snowed in.Читать далее
