P'tit Train du Nord - Nominingue to Mont Tremblant


A beautiful start to the day!

 

Whilst the weather forecast is not perfect the outlook is good.

Breakfast is served in a small building to the side of the auberge.  When we enter we ask where the menu is.  The owner says there is no menu, we can have whatever we like, he has everything!  Now that's my kind of breakfast!

 

After  yesterday's spectacular navigational error, Stuart and Chris use Stuart's schoolboy compass to ensure we are heading in the right direction!

 

Although we are expecting to head due south at all times, we find that this really isn't the case when we consult the map

 

We have decided to schedule a coffee break at Rivière Rouge and when we arrive all we can find is a roadside cafe.  Despite orders of Americano, Regular Coffee, Cafe-au-lait and a Latte we all end up with exactly the same - cups of filter coffee plus a carton of milk to share!  

 

Due to a huge stroke of luck the only rain of the day starts whilst we are drinking our coffee and ends before we set off again!   Almost as if we had planned it!

 The weather brightens up enough to enable removal of rain gear, for some photo opportunities on a bridge.



 

Along the route many of the old stations have been preserved,  we arrive at Labelle station at lunch time.

 

Some of the stations have been converted to information centres or museums, but luckily at this station we find that it has been converted into a restaurant!

 

Sarah  has her first beer of the week, I think that she enjoys it!

 

When we arrive at the next Auberge we now have fantastic weather !

 

Which is just as well, as there are so many fun things to do in the water




 

 

As the sun goes down, we all gather on the deck and are treated to a spectacular sunset
