The Laurentians

Today we met our host who had been in Montreal where she sells her designer clothes and returned at modnight.  She kindly sewed my torn pyjama jacket! She suggested a lovely drive via St Agathe and to Mont Tremblant with beautiful views lakes and autumn foliage against blue skies. At Mont Tremblant we took the free gondola to the cable car to the highest point in the range. There are 5 cable cars and skilifts to that point and we had a coffee and enjoyed the stunning panoramas. Very touristy but worth it. Then it was a long drive via Lake Superieur to Saint Donat and then back down to St Agathe and Val David. Not many places to stop and admire views and no tea places next to lakes! Had red wine and carrot cakes and pasta and local sausages for dinner. 

Val David

Slept well and had planned to leave early but had phone message that our home alarm had gone off. Turned it was when John shut the door after checking the post! Spent time getting routes and then to Biodome which is great. Lovely shots of otter beaver, penguins raccoons and sea birds all close. You move from tropical jungle to temperate zones. Had lunch there then drove to Val David via highway 15. Owner not here and it seems we have to get our own food so went and bought some! Lovely autumn foliage.
