On the long journey across Canada

Location: Canada
My journey to Alberta started on Tuesday around midday. I first took metro then a bus, it took me almost two hours to get to the far end on west side of Montreal Island.
Then again 30 min walk to cross the bridge and find a spot to start hitchhiking.
on the bridge to cross the Saint-Laurent river and get out of Montreal

From there I have been very lucky. After about 10min a car stop, with a young couple from Sherbrook that was on their way to BC, for a similar adventure as me.

Antoine and Magali, they started their trip much faster than me, as they decided to leave just Monday evening. They quickly pack up the car, take care of everything at their places and left Tuesday morning. Magali pass by her job in the morning only to say she quit. And during the trip they both had to call their parents and friends to tell them they are leaving.  That was pretty funny.


As we all heading in the same direction we made the entire trip to Calgary together and that was really awesome.  We always found great spot to put our tents for the night and cook ourselves really delicious meal.
With spent a lot of time in the car of course but we had some very nice break to swim in the lac or to spend the night on random place.

We get along very well with Antoine and Magali we are very like-minded, and have a good taste for adventure. It makes the trip really awesome, I couldn't ask for a better way to cross the country.

Finally they dropped mi in Calgary on Sunday and they move on to BC to do some fruit picking for the whole summer and save enough money to travel to Australia for a while.

For me it's time for a very small break, make some washing and get ready to explore the mountains!!
