Day 96: Boucherville to Louiseville

We said our extended goodbyes to our host family for the last few days and headed out on the trail once again. It felt good to be back on the bike, there is only so long that you can spend cooped up in an RV before fresh air is required...

Today was mostly flat with a assisting tailwind that pushed us along the river, on a bike path, past some beautiful old churches and towns.

We took a ferry across the St Lawrence at Sorel, had lunch on the other side, and then continued on the northern shore until Louiseville, which we made just as the torrential rain started to come down again.

The crew wanted to free camp in town but couldn't find a spot, so I found a campsite a little way out of town and subsidised the camping for the evening. The spot at the Marina was beautiful, but the noise from the nearby highway spoilt it somewhat.

The rain cleared enough for us to setup camp, but came down once again, and rained all night.
