勇闖新世界 2 (2016/10/31)

After we settled for the phone problem, we continued driving.
The big deal today is trying to get out of "French zone" as quick as possible.

Cornwall - 401 - Lancaster - 20- Coteau du Lac - Montreal - 20- Quebec - Cap Saint Ignace - Riviere du Loup - 85 - Saint Antonin - Whitworth, Quebec - Temiscouata-sur-le-Lac - Edmundston - 2 - Hartland - Woodstock, NB


Coming from Hong Kong like me, 
I am all for it to make your mother tongue sustainable,
but, you should still put up multi language sign on the road for traveller.


As soon as you step into Quebec area, there is NO English at all!!!!!!












When you are driving long road trip like this, 
sometimes, you just can't help feeling sleepy,
so, my brother-in-law try to talk on the phone with people to stay awake


Just like that, he got a traffic ticket, turns out, in Canada, you cannot use the phone while driving
(has to use hand-free)


Thanks to all the French sign!!!
The ticket was all in French too!!!
and because we were so angry, we just drive non-stop until we see an English sign again.


when you are up in the rural 
you started to see these sign, it's NOT a deer sign
it's a MOOSE sign!!!!! I want to see him so much!!!

This is a deer sign



We saw this sign a lot, it's french, so we have to guess, 
but when you look the picture from far away,
we all feel like it mean people are feeding the moose from the car window!!??

after we get out of "french area", we were just smooth sailing, 
they want to drive as far as they could
but when it get's dark, you really have pay attention if deer/moose jump onto the highway
and it makes you extra tired
so, instead of driving to next big town : Fredericton, we stopped at Woodstock

Best Western Plus Woodstock Hotel and Conference Centre
123 Gallop Ct, Woodstock, NB E7M 3P7

we arrived around 8:30pm and we still haven't eat dinner yet
It is such a small town that the staff told us 
the restaurant next door, is closing at 10pm and last order at 9pm,
so we rush there get some dinner and head back.

sunrise at 7am


One crazy thing, we have 3 persons and 2 cars travel together, 
I did not drive because I am so afraid of highway driving
and my driving habit is so different with my husband,
I drive slowly, he drive at the top of the speed limit;
he like to pass anything in front of him, I will just drive behind,
he like to drive on the fast lane (because he keep passing people)
I drive on the slow lane most of the time.
in the end: I would drive him crazy.
but, my brother-in-law, drive just like him,

so, they are the driver in the trip and I am just ride along,
but I felt so tired every night.

I guess it's the anxiety that worn me out.
the feeling of unknown future.
Nothing to worry about but human nature just like to get settle down.
Luckily, road trip is close to the end already.
