"The Gaspe Peninsula" Gaspé by sim1

Gaspé Travel Guide: 150 reviews and 411 photos

This page is going to be about a part of the Province of Quebec called "The Gaspe Peninsula". I didn't plan to go here, while I was on my vacation, travelling from Ontario to Nova Scotia. But friends in Ontario convinced me that I had to go here... "it is only a slight detour", they said. Yeah right! Hahaha, it wasn't a slight detour at all, but a very long drive!!! But I have to admit a wonderful one, and I don't regret at all going here.

An interesting introduction to a place I'd hope to visit one day. The Percé Rock reminds me of Australia's Great Ocean Road.

Nice pics of Gaspe Simone. How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (Tongue Twister)
