to Atlantic Canada today we're going to Quebec first stop first stop is going to be Quebec no Quebec City or we're gonna go visit a brother in Montreal for a couple of hours and then we continue just for another hour hour and a half to a little town outside the city we rented a cabin in the woods by the lake so that's going to be our first day yeah yeah we're already it's nine-thirty accused the july the second so the after Kenny today they have the kind of a day and all the way so ready inside the car there he's eager and ready and yeah we have a lot of stuff that's the only thing but this car looks familiar is because we were driving the same model last year when we went out to the Rockies yeah and we're trying to figure out if it's the same car as well not just the same model but the same vehicle catching a cold over here because we rent it from the same place at the airport and it's exactly the same model the same power so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same car that we we took last year - yeah - travel alright anyway I'm driving take the road up in the driver's seat so let's get out city let's go let's get going we were running a bit late leaving the house so we didn't do a very good job explaining this trip but basically the idea was to spend two weeks road tripping around the Maritimes which includes the provinces of New Brunswick from Nova Scotia in Prince Edward Island ever since Togo came into our lives it's become a bit of a family tradition to do a summer road trip so that the dog can also come along last year it was the Canadian Rockies and this year we decided to head east towards Atlantic Canada but first we had to get there this video is about our first two days of driving across Ontario and Quebec be a hair day well how's the dryer first stop of the day it was good I'm driven for about an hour and a half we're now at Port Hope we stopped at an En Route it's kind of like a rest area and this one has a little part with picnic benches yeah Toland was getting a little fidgety so he needs a walk well especially when he saw the other dogs yeah he's like yes this looks like a dog yeah the best thing about this on route is that I mean there's a restaurant area but we avoided that and we just come to the park area aha love how did you find the drive so far it was a bit a lot of traffic going out of Toronto but that's to be expected yeah okay now it should be smooth cruising yeah probably make another stop before I mean when you're with the dog you have to do that we have to usually stop like every hour and a half or two yeah that seems to work that works for him and we also have we have sandwiches as well and there was banana bread two containers of banana bread yeah and someone devoured in the first one I haven't even had a bite portion by somebody you know I can honestly say it wasn't me maybe your sister had it how was my driving for you how did you enjoy the ride I think I only gained about 10 white hairs oh my god I just kidding you did a good job you were driving slows a little bit like Sunday driving I do the Beeb limits I'm a safe driver yeah yeah it was you know what once we got outside of Toronto it's totally fine mm-hmm Toronto's always a bit of a zoo and guys we've packed their own sandwiches take a look here yes we've got chicken sandwiches on three rocket chicken oh and this is nice thick bread it looks like the guy from healthy walk bread for you yeah try it none of this stopping at Tim Hortons business you eat homemade sandwiches so how's the trip so far pretty good we're doing a pit stop for Togo yeah and I think he wants water too but he got a little excited when we pulled in all the dogs doesn't know where we are he doesn't know where he does the problem you know yeah so he's all hyper but now he quiet down a little bit can we take him somewhere unfamiliar he needs to get out run around snippets crazy but I think now he wants to have a little bit of water mm-hm and yeah this is a perfect area to stop were walk the dog a little bit you know we haven't been troubling a lot is about an hour and a half but we are not in a hurry and you know we want the dog to stretch the legs a little bit because in the back is a little bit cramped you know it's a lot of suitcases and stuff like that so he doesn't have a lot of space and yeah like this he's going to quiet down a little and then he's gonna truck travel a little bit better here we're gonna have some water for you hmm what are you giving him why'd we lavender because it gets them a little what alright guys we've may be driving another 15 minutes and we've stopped again at the Big Apple this is a place where you can buy apple pie and you can see how they're made and they have like this giant red apple off to the side of the highway so it's kind of like a tourist landmark as well so yeah we're gonna get some pie since we're visiting my uncle's we don't show up empty-handed I don't know let's go well there you have it guys the Big Apple the one and only and yeah we daughter Pie we got the mumble crumble apple pie huge really good and Sam apple chips these are the caramel yeah apple chips guys fun fact fun fact let's talk ever new as you as you go into the store you can see where they're making the pies and they have sold over 6 million unbeliev of all it's a lot so guys we picked up some apple chips over here gonna try them they're basically shaped like a like an apple rings cord ring looks like there's a bit of sugar around the outside oh wow miss sweet how about the caramel taste really crunchy I like them you snake hello stop number three number three number three means cake actually banana bread water a little walk for the dog sun's out every stop is an excuse for Audrey to have a bite and we're closer to Quebec border now so yeah that's the french-speaking part of Canada yes get any fitting cuz we're not too far from your uncle's place yeah we're hoping to be able to get there by four o'clock yep making decent time Tony's sniffing you hey guys and we have banana bread with chocolate chips walnuts its moist its fluffy its second piece of the day so you did find it after all Tokita once the war explore alright guys so we just crossed the border over to the back the province of Quebec a few minutes ago we're now about 25 or 30 minutes away from my uncle's house and I am keeping myself entertained by taking selfies with togi in the back look got him there but him there in the same frame look at that guy looking at the camera looking handsome as always I'll Drive I'll give you your camera sim we spent a really nice afternoon visiting with relatives and then we hit the road again while we still had a bit of daylight left in order to find the cottage somewhere in the countryside we got stuck in traffic leaving Montreal and then we also lost a bit of time taking detours due to construction but we eventually got there killing mosquitoes we're in the countryside next to a lake in the forest and there were hundreds of them like we opened the doors and the lights were on and they just like swarm yeah they're like they're like food oh you're really old I'd say 20 or 30 by now my dad and I was told Papa no consume wine yes kept telling us like 20 minutes 20 minutes for what felt like an hour yeah but we're here and it's gonna look really nice in the morning yeah we'll show you guys around in the morning yeah you know we're gonna just have some wine yeah have a little bite and we'll let you it will give you a tour of the cabin tomorrow and we'll pick things up yeah yes for the end of the day no it's been a long one you're in a long run anything would be good at this point yeah so we are starving we are fired and number Thursday we're gonna be mosquitos because the cabin is full of them yeah so I think they're gonna eat us alive tonight yeah we're gonna pick things up in the morning hopefully we're not ravaged by them but yeah what a day what are they what a day let's call it a day oh good morning guys from the woods here in Quebec we are being attacked by mosquitoes we just came outside to give the dog a little walk and oh boy summer here is rough it's beautiful it's just the mosquitoes are also here to enjoy it but yeah we were up bright and early my parents woke up at like 5:30 this morning Sam was up at 6:00 so we're getting an early start or just about packed up and then we need to start loading everything in the car so yeah we just wanted to show you around a little bit this is the cottage where we spent the night last night we arrived after dark so you couldn't really see much but it's really nice we're not too far from the lake togo's having fun playing fetch with sticks and pinecones and yeah today we're gonna continue driving towards Fredericton it's gonna be seven and a half hours and we're also gonna make some stops along the way so yeah we'll see what they hold day two was another long day of driving mostly crossing the province of Quebec we didn't really do any touristy stops along the way since our goal was to reach Fredericton before dark and meet up with Sam's parents we just drove and drove taking breaks at Togo's urging get up game good morning I'm awake now I wasn't really awake earlier yet a bit of a sleep ha ha ha in the car no I've been navigating actually ok um we've been driving would you say an hour and a half or two now yeah but at least a solid hour and a half yeah we woke up early we got Union alive I mean yeah bitten on my fingertip and my fingers swelled to twice it's yeah I mean I've spent quite a bit of time in the wilderness in Canada I've never been to somewhere where I'd like to bring the mosquitos yeah that many of them too they even came in the house somehow yeah anyways yeah it's been a nice scenic drive so far and we're heading towards Quebec City at the moment and yeah we've got a little bit more time to spend in this province thanks oh it's nature none of a shower this morning so the me the main reason why we stopped those to take the dog for a walk about every two hours we do that and it just makes the trip a lot more bearable for us for him for everyone involved Togo has to be first we can't be ahead he must be the leader or he starts squeaking and getting nervous and anxious yeah there's a system in place my fat one boy I miss people Oh nervous yawn well guys it's just been more highway driving more of the same hopefully you're enjoying a bit of the scenery we're doing you guessed it another pit stop we're going to attempt feeding the dog our itinerary it really revolves around the dog quite heavily in case you have not noticed so here we go feeding time for toto he's getting some beef getting some rice home-cooked meals here we go lunch for Toby so we've been driving for a really long time it feels like you know never-ending adventure here in Quebec and it is Canada's french-speaking province so I don't know if you've noticed but we have been filming a lot of the signs all the signs are in French and yeah the culture is different the food is different if we had more time I would have loved to stomp and had a bit in here I've been craving it within and speaking of French names a lot of the names here are after saints we just passed by it for a key little town what was that called it was st. Louie haha like haha I'm laughing there's some great names in Canada of small towns I have to say my favorite being in and happy valley-goose Bay but you've never never I haven't been there but I'm gonna go that's history that's my dream in life happy valley-goose also they do speak French in New Brunswick and part of yes yes technically a bilingual province there's some cities that are more French than others Edmundston being one of them near the border is also Moncton which is predominantly French but where my parents live in Fredericton and then where my relatives live in st. John's or English speaking so it's really interesting if you want to work in the government there you do need to speak both languages yeah Rose wait brother alright guys so we made a little pit stop in Hartland New Brunswick a place that Sam visited as a child he thinks maybe remembers and this town is home to the longest covered bridge in the world twelve hundred and eighty-two feet also I was really surprised that you can drive your vehicle across because we visited covered bridges and Quebec that are made out of wood and they're so old that you can only walk across you can't drive on them anymore this one you can do it with your car but you can also walk it too I think hey people how are you out there I'm gonna do a little bit of talking here for all three thriving and Samuel is filming my yeah we've been traveling for a couple of days we are a bit dirty sweaty and tired but we're having a good time toad was at the back there having a good time too and yeah we just cross the province of Quebec we passed through there yesterday and this morning now we're in a New Brunswick is the first time for me here in New Brunswick I have never been past Quebec City East right so as you know what BEC is mostly French speaking problems although Canada the whole country is bilingual there are two official languages that are French and English if you want to have education in French you can study in French if you want to be educated in English when you go to school University you can do it in English in the province of Quebec is a little bit different because they have some laws that they had to implement to protect the the French culture if you come to the province of Quebec from abroad and you want to go to public school you probably want to have to go and do your schooling in French even if you were born in the province of Quebec and neither one of your parents and mother or your father did their schooling in English then you're not going to be able to do your schooling in English in the public school system if you want to pay private education you can study whatever language you want but in the public system that's more or less the rules enough so they have to protect the culture and this is a way of trying to make sure that the language is kept alive and also when it comes to signage outside the businesses and whatever it is with the advertising you know it has to be done in French in the province of Quebec so now we've come just close to the province of New Brunswick it's my first time here I'm surprised at the size of both side of the highway here the road they have a fencing system to protect fro from the moves apparently right here there are signs every word that says beware be careful especially at nine moves crossing you know they cross the road and if you are doing 120 130 kilometers an hour and you hit one of those monsters it'll be like eating a horse and I don't think you're gonna survive it neither the moves right they usually come to the wind chill and end up inside the car and it's a it's a disaster so what they did is they fence the whole length we've been traveling now for like four hours and it's been steady okay both sides of the highway the fencing is a metal chain link type of thing and Wow you see the kind of expanse they went to protect lives in this country in Canada they don't take it lightly when he when it's a matter of safety and and trying to save life money is no object a partly because this must have cost a fortune to do but they did it you know and also when we cross into New Brunswick we came into another time zone sorry so you know Canada being such a wide country it has four time zones right you got a the Atlantic you got Central you got Mountain and you got Pacific that's four and then you have a new phone now Terra Nova and Labrador that they also have a little different that is about a half an hour so if you are in Vancouver and someone that is in Terranova Labrador new format will be four and a half hours difference you know they'll give you an idea of how fast this country is so yeah that's another you know interesting thing to know I guess for people that are interested in traveling and stuff like that and also another thing that I've noticed anisha's amazes me is how clean everything is we've been traveling for two days okay and so far we haven't seen a piece of paper a piece of newspaper a plastic bottle an empty coffee cup nothing on the side of the road he says pristine okay that tells you a lot about you know society when they when you have things and you see things like that you know how they behave so what are you doing here you're you're having a good time have any good road trip it's lots a lot lots of walks yeah he's having a great time is it agree hey one more hour one and a half and we're there is a happy camper so yeah now we are approaching in about an hour and a half we're gonna be in a Fredericton in New Brunswick right there we're going to spend a couple of days recoup a little do a little bit of sightseeing and then we continue to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and we're gonna be I'm eager to go we're gonna try the the cabot trail okay it's supposed to be one of the most scenic roads mainly for motorcycle drivers you know it's a lot of people that go do that drive with their motorcycle you know the big bikes huh so it's supposed to be an amazing Drive and amazing views and I always wanted to go and do this and well now is the time so we'll we'll keep you posted and we'll make some good videos so everybody can enjoy so that's it that's it we put down our we'll see you in another little piece of video and talk a little bit more we drove through a torrential downpour but then as we were approaching Fredericton the skies cleared and we got some sunshine and that pretty much sums up or two days driving out to eastern Canada in the next video we'll be exploring the province of New Brunswick so get ready for some sightseeing around Fredericton a hiking and fundy national park eating delicious fish and chips visiting the hopewell rocks and enjoying a cottage in the middle of the woods all that and more in the next episode
