Ruth: We cycled to Percé from Gaspé on our wettest day yet. We were fortunate enough to find a cafe serving up waffles to wait out the worst of the rainstorms. By the time we made it to Percé we were wet and exhausted and our motel had no record of our reservation. Everything in Percé was fully booked. After a dark moment  I found the confirmation number I was geven when I booked, and suddenly they were not full after all. We ended up in a better room with an outstanding view. 




This morning the rain was gone and the sun was shining. Perfect conditions for an excursion to Bonaventure island. Apologies ahead of time for envy inspiring photos to follow.
