Cold Colder Coldest.

After our stay in Québec, it was time for a new adventure! We decided to take a trip North all the way to Lac Saint Jean. This is a 600 km trip through the Laurentians. We started the trip around four in the afternoon and after some snowstorms, very bad roads and the falling night we decided to spend the night in l'Etappe. The one and only stop on road 175 North to the lake! It was not a bad choice to leave the heater on while sleeping. In the morning the inside temperature in the Van was around zero and we were wondering if the heating system had failed on us but everything was still runnig...strange!
This is what the outside temperature said...

It was minus thirty and it had been minus forty during the night...I can assure you that this is very very cold! Breathing gets difficult and in a few minutes your hands are frozen, crazy!
We were releaved that we had survived the night without any problems. We felt like real survivors and we knew now that Annabel was ready for whatever...
So it was time to get our Old Lady started so we could continue our trip. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and it was already five degrees warmer, minus twenty five : )!
The Old Lady did not start, boosting her up with several pick ups did not work. The engine was frozen so we had no choice to warm her up inside! Luckely we have a very good insurrance because we drove back to Québec in the front of a Tow Truck : )!

She decided to start again around five in the evening so we had to spend the entire day in a shopping mall in the Québec suburbs! After spending the night on the Walmart parking lot we woke up with the spirit of real adventurers and we did the trip North anyway!
The canadians say we're crazy sleeping in an RV during this season and maybe we are...but we love it!!! And the trip North was worth every kilometer!

And if someone knows somebody in Canada who can find the way to our broken light bulb, anyone please give us a call : )! I think I'll try to do it myself one of these days, lazy mechanics!!! So we had some real adventure the last few days, up to Ontario for more!!!
