Montreal, Ottawa, and the Beginning of the Great Lakes

Montreal, Ottawa, and the Beginning of the Great Lakes

In the end, I stayed in Montreal at my friend’s place until Wednesday. On Sunday, while changing the rear tire, I badly damaged the inner tube during installation, so I had to find a new one, which I only got on Wednesday. Thanks to that, I had more time to explore a...

On the route to Montreal

On the route to Montreal

In the morning, when I set off on my journey, I was curious to see how far I’d get. I had taken Monday and Tuesday off so I could travel through this signal-free area. My first major stop ended up being in Labrador City, where I had lunch. At the PWR...

Cabot Trail and Newfoundland

On Cape Breton, I continued along the Cabot Trail and spent the first night near a gypsum quarry, which is now flooded and makes for great swimming. On the way out, I laid the bike down for the first time because I decided to try a different route, which turned out to...

Finally on the Road

Finally on the Road

In the end, the longest part was getting the new tires to Halifax. But the very next day after receiving them, I jumped into replacing them. Unfortunately, I damaged one inner tube during the process, which delayed things by another day. After that, I was basically...

Again, in Canada

My first week in Canada passed quicky. I’ve managed to visit a few know places and friends. Also, I bought a motorbike I want to use for travelling (it’s Suzuki DR650 SE from 2014) and registered and insured it. I tried it also off-road on 70 km stretch between...

Roadtrip to the north

Roadtrip to the north

Another year passed and I haven’t published yet any record about my last year discovery trip to beauty of northern Europe. I prefer to write the posts after some time, but I feel this was too long. Anyway, I haven’t forgotten anything important, and I still have in a...

Hike across Nízké Tatry

Iceland in winter

Iceland in winter

Maybe you could think based on checking this blog that I do not travel any more but it’s not true. I just didn’t had feeling to write anything about normal trips around for instance to High Tatras range in Slovakia and such weekend trips. Of course, it was beautiful...

I’ll now continue where I finished on the last post. At the end I’ve stayed in Halifax two weeks and meet with pretty much everyone I wanted and who wanted to meet with me. It felt good to be back for a bit as I still consider the city as one of my hometowns. The main...
