In Tadoussac, we went whale watching in a Zodiac. Bev thought the boat driver was even more cute than her trainer, so even though he didn't speak ANY English he got a great tip! The world is truly global....a woman from France had to translate between the Quebec driver and us...and we three were the Canadians. That said, at times she was stumped as she couldn't understand his accent and was really frustrated. We managed to see buluga and finback whales, as well as a few curious seals. The driver also took us for a nice ride up the Saguenay river/fiord.
From Tadaussac, we headed north Baie Comeau and took the ferry across the St. Lawrence to Matane. If any readers are planning a similar trip, we suggest taking the ferry from Forestville to Rimouski, because it runs more frequently and travels at twice the speed. PS: while on the ferry having dinner, one of the crew members found Bev to tell her that her bike was wailing and the lights were flashing; it seems that the rocking of the boat set off the alarm so she had to bring the keys/faub back to bike to settle it down and save her battery.
