first passenger aboard the vehicle togi are you ready to travel Togo well good
morning guys today is a travel day we are kicking off the trip the road trip
to Atlantic Canada today we're going to Quebec first stop first stop is going to
be Quebec no Quebec City or we're gonna go visit a brother in Montreal for a
couple of hours and then we continue just for another hour hour and a half to
a little town outside the city we rented a cabin in the woods by the lake so
that's going to be our first day yeah yeah we're already it's nine-thirty
accused the july the second so the after Kenny today they have the kind of a day
and all the way so ready inside the car there he's eager and ready and yeah we
have a lot of stuff that's the only thing but this car looks familiar is
because we were driving the same model last year when we went out to the
Rockies yeah and we're trying to figure out if it's the same car as well not
just the same model but the same vehicle catching a cold over here because we
rent it from the same place at the airport and it's exactly the same model
the same power so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same car that we
we took last year - yeah - travel alright anyway I'm driving
take the road up in the driver's seat so let's get out city let's go let's get
going we were running a bit late leaving the
house so we didn't do a very good job explaining this trip but basically the
idea was to spend two weeks road tripping around the Maritimes which
includes the provinces of New Brunswick from Nova Scotia in Prince Edward Island
ever since Togo came into our lives it's become a bit of a family tradition to do
a summer road trip so that the dog can also come along last year it was the
Canadian Rockies and this year we decided to head east towards Atlantic
Canada but first we had to get there this video is about our first two days
of driving across Ontario and Quebec
be a hair day
well how's the dryer first stop of the day it was good I'm driven for about an
hour and a half we're now at Port Hope we stopped at an En Route it's kind of like
a rest area and this one has a little part with picnic benches yeah Toland was
getting a little fidgety so he needs a walk well especially when he saw the
other dogs yeah he's like yes this looks like a dog yeah the best thing about
this on route is that I mean there's a restaurant area but we avoided that and
we just come to the park area aha love how did you find the drive so far it was
a bit a lot of traffic going out of Toronto but that's to be expected
yeah okay now it should be smooth cruising
yeah probably make another stop before I mean when you're with the dog you have
to do that we have to usually stop like every hour and a half or two yeah that
seems to work that works for him and we also have we have sandwiches as well and
there was banana bread two containers of banana bread yeah and someone devoured
in the first one I haven't even had a bite portion by somebody you know I can
honestly say it wasn't me maybe your sister had it how was my driving for you
how did you enjoy the ride I think I only gained about 10 white hairs oh my
god I just kidding you did a good job you were driving slows a little bit like
Sunday driving I do the Beeb limits I'm a safe driver yeah yeah it was you know
what once we got outside of Toronto it's totally fine mm-hmm Toronto's always a
bit of a zoo and guys we've packed their own sandwiches take a look here yes
we've got chicken sandwiches on three rocket chicken oh and this is nice thick
bread it looks like the guy from healthy walk bread for you yeah try it none of
this stopping at Tim Hortons business you eat homemade sandwiches so how's the
trip so far pretty good we're doing a pit stop for Togo yeah and I think he
wants water too but he got a little excited when we pulled in all the dogs
doesn't know where we are he doesn't know where he does the
problem you know yeah so he's all hyper but now he quiet down a little bit can
we take him somewhere unfamiliar he needs to get out run around snippets
crazy but I think now he wants to have a little bit of water mm-hm and yeah this
is a perfect area to stop were walk the dog a little bit you know
we haven't been troubling a lot is about an hour and a half but we are not in a
hurry and you know we want the dog to stretch the legs a little bit because in
the back is a little bit cramped you know it's a lot of suitcases and stuff
like that so he doesn't have a lot of space and yeah like this he's going to
quiet down a little and then he's gonna truck travel a little bit better here
we're gonna have some water for you hmm
what are you giving him why'd we lavender because it gets them a little
what
alright guys we've may be driving another 15 minutes and we've stopped
again at the Big Apple this is a place where you can buy apple pie and you can
see how they're made and they have like this giant red apple off to the side of
the highway so it's kind of like a tourist landmark as well so yeah we're
gonna get some pie since we're visiting my uncle's we don't show up empty-handed
I don't know let's go
well there you have it guys the Big Apple the one and only and yeah we
daughter Pie we got the mumble crumble apple pie huge

sold over 6 million unbeliev of all it's a lot so guys we
picked up some apple chips over here gonna try them
they're basically shaped like a like an apple rings cord ring
looks like there's a bit of sugar around the outside oh wow miss sweet how about
the caramel taste really crunchy I like them
you snake hello stop number three number three number
three means cake actually banana bread water a little walk for the dog
sun's out every stop is an excuse for Audrey to have a bite and we're closer
to Quebec border now so yeah that's the french-speaking part of Canada yes get
any fitting cuz we're not too far from your uncle's place yeah we're hoping to
be able to get there by four o'clock yep making decent time Tony's sniffing

alright guys so we just crossed the border over to the back the province of
Quebec a few minutes ago we're now about 25 or 30 minutes away
from my uncle's house and I am keeping myself entertained by taking selfies
with togi in the back look got him there but him there in the same frame look at
that guy looking at the camera looking handsome as always
I'll Drive I'll give you your camera sim we spent a
really nice afternoon visiting with relatives and then we hit the road again
while we still had a bit of daylight left in order to find the cottage
somewhere in the countryside we got stuck in traffic leaving Montreal and
then we also lost a bit of time taking detours due to construction but we
eventually got there
killing mosquitoes we're in the countryside next to a lake in the forest
and there were hundreds of them like we opened the doors and the lights were on
and they just like swarm yeah they're like they're like food oh you're really
old I'd say 20 or 30 by now my dad and I was told
Papa no consume wine yes kept telling us like 20 minutes 20 minutes for what felt
like an hour yeah but we're here and it's gonna look
really nice in the morning yeah we'll show you guys around in the
morning yeah you know we're gonna just have some wine yeah have a little bite
and we'll let you it will give you a tour of the cabin tomorrow and we'll
pick things up yeah yes for the end of the day no it's been a long one you're
in a long run anything would be good at this point yeah so we are starving we
are fired and number Thursday we're gonna be mosquitos because the cabin is
full of them yeah so I think they're gonna eat us alive tonight yeah we're
gonna pick things up in the morning hopefully we're not ravaged by them but
yeah what a day what are they what a day let's call it a
day
oh good morning guys from the woods here in Quebec we are being attacked by
mosquitoes we just came outside to give the dog a little walk and oh boy
summer here is rough it's beautiful it's just the mosquitoes are also here to
enjoy it but yeah we were up bright and early
my parents woke up at like 5:30 this morning Sam was up at 6:00 so we're
getting an early start or just about packed up and then we need to start
loading everything in the car so yeah we just wanted to show you around a little
bit this is the cottage where we spent the night last night we arrived after
dark so you couldn't really see much but it's really nice we're not too far from
the lake togo's having fun playing fetch with sticks and pinecones and yeah today
we're gonna continue driving towards Fredericton it's gonna be seven and a
half hours and we're also gonna make some stops along the way so yeah we'll
see what they hold
day two was another long day of driving mostly crossing the province of Quebec
we didn't really do any touristy stops along the way since our goal was to
reach Fredericton before dark and meet up with Sam's parents we just drove and
drove taking breaks at Togo's urging
get up game
good morning I'm awake now I wasn't really awake earlier
yet a bit of a sleep ha ha ha in the car no I've been navigating actually ok um
we've been driving would you say an hour and a half or two now yeah but at least
a solid hour and a half yeah we woke up early
we got Union alive I mean yeah bitten on my fingertip and my fingers swelled to
twice it's yeah I mean I've spent quite a bit of time in the wilderness in
Canada I've never been to somewhere where I'd like to bring the mosquitos
yeah that many of them too they even came in the house somehow yeah anyways
yeah it's been a nice scenic drive so far and we're heading towards Quebec
City at the moment and yeah we've got a little bit more time to spend in this
province thanks oh it's nature none of a shower this morning so the me
the main reason why we stopped those to take the dog for a walk about every two
hours we do that and it just makes the trip a lot more bearable for us for him
for everyone involved Togo has to be first we can't be ahead
he must be the leader or he starts squeaking and getting nervous and
anxious yeah there's a system in place
my fat one boy I miss people
Oh nervous yawn well guys it's just been more highway driving more of the same
hopefully you're enjoying a bit of the scenery we're doing you guessed it
another pit stop we're going to attempt feeding the dog our itinerary it really
revolves around the dog quite heavily in case you have not noticed so here we go
feeding time for toto he's getting some beef getting some rice
home-cooked meals here we go lunch for Toby
so we've been driving for a really long time it feels like you know never-ending
adventure here in Quebec and it is Canada's french-speaking province so I
don't know if you've noticed but we have been filming a lot of the signs all the
signs are in French and yeah the culture is different the food is different if we
had more time I would have loved to stomp and had a bit in here I've been
craving it within and speaking of French names a lot of the names here are after
saints we just passed by it for a key little town what was that called it was
st. Louie haha like haha I'm laughing there's some
great names in Canada of small towns I have to say my favorite being in
and happy valley-goose Bay but you've never never I haven't been there but I'm
gonna go that's history that's my dream in life happy valley-goose also they do
speak French in New Brunswick and part of yes yes technically a bilingual
province there's some cities that are more French than others Edmundston being
one of them near the border is also Moncton which is predominantly French
but where my parents live in Fredericton and then where my relatives live in st.
John's or English speaking so it's really interesting if you want to
work in the government there you do need to speak both languages
yeah Rose wait brother
alright guys so we made a little pit stop in Hartland New Brunswick a place
that Sam visited as a child he thinks maybe remembers and this town is home to
the longest covered bridge in the world twelve hundred and eighty-two feet also
I was really surprised that you can drive your vehicle across because we
visited covered bridges and Quebec that are made out of wood and they're so old
that you can only walk across you can't drive on them anymore this one you can
do it with your car but you can also walk it too I think
hey people how are you out there I'm gonna do a
little bit of talking here for all three thriving and Samuel is filming
my yeah we've been traveling for a couple of days we are a bit dirty sweaty
and tired but we're having a good time toad was at the back there having a good
time too and yeah we just cross the province of Quebec we passed through
there yesterday and this morning now we're in a New Brunswick is the
first time for me here in New Brunswick I have never been past Quebec City East
right so as you know what BEC is mostly French speaking problems although Canada
the whole country is bilingual there are two
official languages that are French and English if you want to have education in
French you can study in French if you want to be educated in English when you
go to school University you can do it in English in the province of Quebec is a
little bit different because they have some laws that they had to implement to
protect the the French culture if you come to the province of Quebec from
abroad and you want to go to public school you probably want to have to go
and do your schooling in French even if you were born in the province of
Quebec and neither one of your parents and mother or your father did their
schooling in English then you're not going to be able to do your schooling in
English in the public school system if you want to pay private education you
can study whatever language you want but in the public system that's more or less
the rules enough so they have to protect the culture and this is a way of trying
to make sure that the language is kept alive and also when it comes to signage
outside the businesses and whatever it is with the advertising you know
it has to be done in French in the province of Quebec so now we've come
just close to the province of New Brunswick it's my first time here
I'm surprised
at the size of both side of the highway here the road
they have a fencing system to protect fro from the moves apparently right here
there are signs every word that says beware be careful especially at nine
moves crossing you know they cross the road and if you are doing 120 130
kilometers an hour and you hit one of those monsters it'll be like eating a
horse and I don't think you're gonna survive it
neither the moves right they usually come to the wind chill and end up inside
the car and it's a it's a disaster so what they did is they fence the whole
length we've been traveling now for like four hours and it's been steady okay
both sides of the highway the fencing is a metal chain link type of thing and Wow
you see the kind of expanse they went to protect lives in this country in Canada
they don't take it lightly when he when it's a matter of safety and and trying
to save life money is no object a partly because this must have cost a fortune to
do but they did it you know and also when we cross into New
Brunswick we came into another time zone sorry so you know Canada being such a
wide country it has four time zones right you got a
the Atlantic you got Central you got Mountain and you got Pacific that's four
and then you have a new phone now Terra Nova and Labrador that they also have a
little different that is about a half an hour so if you are in Vancouver and
someone that is in Terranova Labrador new format will be four and a half hours
difference you know they'll give you an idea of how fast this country is so yeah
that's another you know interesting thing to know I guess for people that
are interested in traveling and stuff like that and also another thing that
I've noticed anisha's amazes me is how clean everything is we've been traveling
for two days okay and so far we haven't seen a piece of
paper a piece of newspaper a plastic bottle an empty coffee cup nothing on
the side of the road he says pristine okay that tells you a lot about
you know society when they when you have things and you see things like that you
know how they behave so what are you doing here you're you're having a good
time have any good road trip it's lots a lot lots of walks yeah he's having a
great time is it agree hey one more hour one and a half and we're there is a
happy camper so yeah
now we are approaching in about an hour and a half we're gonna be in a Fredericton
in New Brunswick right there we're going to
spend a couple of days recoup a little do a little bit of sightseeing and then
we continue to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and we're gonna be I'm
eager to go we're gonna try the the cabot trail okay
it's supposed to be one of the most scenic roads mainly for motorcycle
drivers you know it's a lot of people that go do that drive with their
motorcycle you know the big bikes huh so it's supposed to be an amazing Drive
and amazing views and I always wanted to go and do this and well now is the time
so we'll we'll keep you posted and we'll make some good videos so everybody can
enjoy so that's it that's it we put down our
we'll see you in another little piece of video and talk a little bit more
we drove through a torrential downpour but then as we were approaching
Fredericton the skies cleared and we got some sunshine and that pretty much sums
up or two days driving out to eastern Canada in the next video we'll be
exploring the province of New Brunswick so get ready for some sightseeing around
Fredericton a hiking and fundy national park eating delicious fish and chips
visiting the hopewell rocks and enjoying a cottage in the middle of the woods all
that and more in the next episode
