Imagine, this is wide enough to set 1 699 339 774 American football fields. It's 153 866 times bigger than the island of Manhattan. But with only 22 times its population. Compared with France, Canada is 14 times bigger, But there is only half it's population. Canada is so few populated for it's size, that it's 15th on the list of the smallest density coutry, with only three and a half people per km2. In four weeks, I only had time to discover a small part of my country. This time, I did'n had planned anything and had only one objective. Drive up to Vancouver, through every single Capital of Provinces passing thru. I live in a small town near Montreal named Granby. 4 700 km is the distance to travel between my hometown to Vancouver on the shortest route. The shortest way is the Trans Canadian Highway.
The Trans-Canada Highway is one the world longest national highway. It crosses the country from sea to sea and spread over 7821km. Good morning internet today, Monday August 17, I leave Granby to go up to Vancouver. In fact I do not really know where I'm going to, it take 4 weeks off ... I will discover my own country for the first time. So I leave with my car, my bike...
some cloth, back there it's my room with shoes for a little bit of everything. Yes, you well understood, my room. An original woke up this morning, I just ear some cows howl. There is no fields, I did'n ear any all nigh long. They are in a truck next to me. Many people think it is expensive to travel the world, but when you minimizes some accommodation such as lodging, which alone is usually the most expensive part if a trip, see the world is not that expensive. So what I've just done is that I transferred all my luggage in front of the car... And in the back, well I just unroll my mattress witch is actually auto inflate. So this is my room for tonight. While it inflate well I'll go quick trip to the toilet.
And think about it, after slept a whole month in the trunk of my car, how do you think I felt when I come back home. Living with the minimum for a while is the best way to appreciate your home confort when you come back. I have been told that Saskatchewan highway was boring, but the Northern Ontario road is so boring. I hope it's not worse in Saskatchewan. I'm now...
About an hour and a quarter I drive today, Yesterday I drove most of the evening and a part of the night in this it's... There is nothing. There is nothing nothing nothing nothing. Theres is nothing to look at to. That's it. With some 70's commercial signs. It's seams like eery commercial is from...
Thirty years in the past. Ho now this start to be interesting. From now and for about the next 700 kilometers, well I overpass Lake Superior. I think the one who name those lakes, ''Les Grand Lacs, never crossed them or even walk along them. There are not big, there are not even gigantic, they are huge! Let's talk simply, it's so huge, that if you would fill those lake with soil, you should move all of the United Kingdoms l, and there would be still enough place to move the Andorra, the Republic Nauru and the Vatican. I told you earlier that my room was the trunk of my car. My car wasn't equipped with any shower or bath, be he could take me to some baths much more elegant than the one you can find in any hotels. Ok, there wasn't any hot water but still, we can't have everything in life. After all, the road to Lac Superior is really long and boring, but one you reach it, it's really beautiful. It's worth... It's worth the trip. Full of mountains, full of tree, full of turning, full of beautiful views on the lake,
the lake who look like a sea. It's amazing how big it is. It's been an hour that I drive along it, this is what I will do all day long and probably a part of tomorrow too. It's really huge, I think you should really drive along it, or bike it to realize how big it is. I look on the map, I do not understand it's... It's so huge. In Manitoba, the distance between the Trans-Canada West and East, is so great that the
the junctions between the two highway are street and they even have a name.
Yeah!
How to describe Manitoba since drive in. Hardwood and straight. Very very straight. Winnipeg is a cool city. It's clean, everyone smiling, people Zen is, it seems that nobody is
stressed, everything is relaxed. It's beautiful. Peoples are smiling. I loved this city. Everything is beautiful, everything is clean, and the people are really friendly. The cycling road in Winnipeg is really awesome. It follows the river all along, I'm on it since few kilometers. I'll maybe go in city center later
