Cost to Go Around the Gaspé Peninsula

Posted on by Roberta Hill

Lately, I’ve been completely underestimating my budget by 25-30%. Over the past year, prices have gone up a ridiculous amount. Sometimes, I might get a great deal on airfare, but the most significant cost of travelling is accommodation. Extended stays and Trusted Housesitters can reduce your costs if you’re into slow travel and a more nomadic lifestyle. Unfortunately, that’s not always what we had planned. Our recent trip around the Gaspé Peninsula cost us 25% more than I had initially determined. I should’ve known immediately when booking hotels. I knew this was in high season and had planned it at…

I’ll never forget a cartoon that I saw probably 50 years ago. Two individuals were looking at this apocalyptic sunset, and the caption read, “You’ve seen one sunset; you’ve seen them all.” I talked with a woman a while ago about our travels and the significant places we had visited.

Pointe-à-la-Renommée and Marconi: Untold Stories Off the Beaten Track

Posted on by Roberta Hill

We would never have considered this side trip if it had not been for the recommendation of our Gite hosts the day before. We almost missed the turn and wondered if our decision was a good idea as we transited the dirt road. We are so glad we continued on the site. One can walk around the site for free, which is lovely, but the exhibitions are excellently presented. The cost was well worth the $16, and completely bilingual. If you travel around the peninsula on Route 132, consider heading to Pointe-à-la-Renommée. It’s off the beaten track, but the stories…
