Eastern Townships (Quebec), Canada Magog Impressions

After having a hearty breakfast and settling my invoice on the charming B&B I stayed at in North Hatley, I hit the street over again, this time to the route of Montreal. I am flying lower back to Amsterdan in the night however I nevertheless have a whole day to spare.

Montreal is just 1.five hours far from the Eastern Townships and it is nonetheless early so I might be dropping via at 2 places, Magog and Saint Benoit du Lac, which thankfully are each positioned alongside the path.

I love road journeys and one of the matters I experience when planning a road trip vacation is identifying the lovable towns and villages along the course that I can stop by for a a short sightseeing and a drink. I mean this is what street trips are all approximately proper? Not using non-forestall for hours, but discovering locations as you drive along.

Reading tip: Eastern Townships

On the map is the space among North Hatley and Magog:

Compared to North Hatley that is a village, Magog is more of a small city with a pretty busy thoroughfare adorned with colorful retail shops. The predominant street is the coronary heart of the town and it appears that evidently the whole lot takes place here.

I couldn't discover a appropriate parking on the primary avenue and after some turns I noticed a big rather personal parking lot close by. I become no longer sure if I changed into allowed to park in there. The parking signs and symptoms had been a piece confusing, a few parking spaces have a do now not park signal, so I stopped the automobile in a parking area with out a signal. I reasoned out in my head that this is a small location in humongous Canada, and I do no longer think the authorities has sufficient resources to be using a person fulltime to give away parking tickets in a small metropolis within the Eastern Townships. But who is aware of? I took the threat anyway and parked.

My idea turned into to have some coffee somewhere in a pleasant cafe but that would truly depend on how matters roll. I like to inject a little little bit of spontaneity on occasion in my travels. I will deal with matters whilst they arrive, when I am there.

However I couldn't without a doubt find an interesting area to have a drink on Rue Principale, the principle thoroughfare of Magog. I changed into seeking out a bar or cafe with an atmospheric outdoor terrace and there was none. Helaas. You cannot have all of them, huh.

Sometimes you don’t discover anything worth to present greater of it slow, so having said that, I determined to go again to the auto. Off to my next prevent earlier than I attain Montreal =)
