So, here we are now, then! It's Saturday, the 29th April and the day after the school would begin again :-). Although this is unpleasant but not something special presentation. But now times first things first:
We came shortly before midnight (6 clock Swiss time) in Quebec, took a taxi to the hotel and slept for the first time out. The next Tomorrow we set up in John and Sylvain our "base camp" and then drove the same bus going towards downtown. Main goal: buying a car! However, as it began to rain during our extensive breakfast in streams, we made a spontaneous change of program and headed to the nearby sports store, we knew from her fall. We left the store about two hours later and 1,500 SFr. poorer (even men can fall by the way the spending spree!), "for it," it had stopped raining. Next, the car was his turn. Since the distances in Canada can not be compared with known Swiss conditions, we were sitting in the bus. Hardly ten minutes sp
ethereal we found "our" car at the roadside. It was a red Jeep Cherokee, born in 94 and paltry 235,000 km on the clock. The old guy is really good for his age in shots and its engine purring like a kitten. An hour later we were test driving a proud owner of a 4x4. That was even faster than expected. Now we had time to take care of the rest. That is, we scoured all the stores and chain saw shop, bought time here and there ne "little thing" and got to know in particular the suburbs of Québec. After four days of uninterrupted shopping time was definitely ripe for our material finally a stress test to subject. This morning we were raring to go and in glorious sunshine the way toward Baie-Saint-Paul to the dogs. Three weeks ago, met John Schwager still over 1.5 m 
to snow. Therefore, we were equipped with snowshoes and sled (and not to regret it!) At the beginning we had to pull the sled still has one or the other ausgeaperte point, but soon we hit solid snow. We had the 10 km to the chalet by Johanne and Sylvain far less steep than in memory, but the last time we were also traveling by car. Towards the end of our approximately three and a half hour march we felt as if we had maple syrup, our sleds. The depth of snow in places was increased to 1 m and the consistency was advanced with time of day always swampy. But with the help of some strong language we mastered this task successfully. After a short visit to our building site we arrived tired, thirsty nd u 
the chalet. Wall of the house it was good and warm like 25 degrees and we were sitting on the porch as the first and enjoyed the silence. However, which lasted barely 10 minutes, because suddenly flew a helicopter came over the (frozen) lake and floated almost a minute in front of us. Flott, as will be welcomed into the Canadian wilderness ... as a newcomer. The ice on the lake on the banks more than 30 cm thick. Before one gets to water, must be drilled with an ice drill a hole into the lake. I must say, I am the soft variant "(Adi's expression) of our project happy. Thanks to the hospitality of Johanne and Sylvain we can enjoy a warm cabin, a unique location with a soft bed and candle light romance. It is uniquely beautiful, by the big window at the moon, the stars and occasionally nice to see a shooting star. reassuring to know that we will fulfill our desires (for which we do not have many) supported from the top!
