Making Memories: Winter Road Trip to Quebec City

 After driving 270,000 kilometres across Canada and the Northern USA, had to give up our Audi as it was beginning to give us trouble.

Asked a few friends, relatives, strangers, what would be a reliable brand to buy, that would last us at least 500,000 kilometres, and they all said Toyota!

This is the first post and first road trip in the Land Cruiser, in winter!

 

 

Just out of the showroom (10 km)

 

We are driving to Quebec City in December

 

Yes, the roads can be slippery even when it looks clear (black ice)

 

 

 

I cannot forget the bakeries, and the friendliness of the local people

 

Where Eagles Dare!

If you look carefully you can see a few guys climbing up the frozen waterfall

Île d'Orléans is an island located in the Saint Lawrence River

The Saint Lawrence River was frozen 

It was -20 degrees C

Back in town, more bakeries

 

Although it was -20 degrees C, the genuine warmth of French culture is unforgettable!

Till date, Quebec City is the most beautiful city we have visited in North America!

Unlike many of the cities we have visited, Quebec has character.

Now to head back home

 

After being convinced of the traction of these OEM Dunlop Grandtrek PT22 tires in the harsh Canadian winter, I now have more confidence on the drive back. 

 

 

So adding a few more PSI from 33 to 38 for even better mileage!

 

 

Truly grateful to GOD to be the designated driver of HIS car!
