Day 100: Champlain to Levis
It was a long day today, I was cycling into a headwind all day - 20 km/h gusting to 40 km/h. It took me a while to get through Quebec City to the ferry. I had to make use of my school boy French to ask for directions. When I got off the ferry ($3), I went straight to the tourist office. Sadly, it was closed. I cycled around town for a bit trying to find a hotel to stay in. In a pinch I could have stayed in a campground but I really wanted to avoid that. I eventually figured that it would be a good place for a hotel on the highway out of town. Sure enough, there was one there and it even had a sign saying 'Bienvenue Cyclistes'.
I stayed at motel on hwy 132 ($84.10).
There is rain predicted overnight with a possible thunderstorm in Quebec City. The weather forecast is slightly better for Riviere du Loup. I would like to end up there tomorrow and stay in the hostel. I no longer feel like camping (although I could still do it if required). The weather now seems to be either wet or cold or both.
End point:
